Traditional Puppet Making is a deliberate process that uses a variety of traditional and modern Materials and Techniques. After the face is made, the body and stringing mechanism has to be devised. The Body of the puppet completes the character, with its shape, accessories depicting the character and the stringing mechanism needed to finally move and play the puppet. The following slides capture the process of creating the body and stringing mechanism, using low cost, light weight material. These photographs of students works have been documented during the puppet making open elective at NID, R&D campus, Bangalore.
