Building a peg community

Here at Genii Productions we are adding some finishing touches to our soon to be toured projects, some projects need more finishing than others, over the next couple of weeks we'll be showing our progress and the final outcome when presented at events. First on our list are our Peg Dolly Puppets - just like traditional Peg Dolls although the puppet angle lends itself to both boys and girls. So far we have built quite a big family of Peg Dolly Puppets, almost a community! Infact we have soldiers, knights, maidens, the cast of Oz
We'll get some pictures of our little people on here in due time.

Why make Peg Dollies you may ask? Well its for our Art Cafe that visits childrens events and fun days, our next one if for St Georges Day in Leicester, which should be a fun event as we'll also be introducing our Giant Genii Dragon - a two man stilt costume. More about him later.

With the Peg Dolly Puppets we are trying to find a way to make them quickly with a good effect, as childrens concentration can be short especially at events with so many other things on offer. We think we have found the best way to create an attractive and subtantial dolly in about 10 minutes or less, we just need to time ourselves. I'll post some pictures of our peg community shortly.
