puppets and stuff

[wytchcroft]

so i'm going to turn Doctor of Locks
into a puppet show... and i'm wondering - does anyone know a good site for invented instruments?

i like the idea of music made from things lying around the house to fit the steampunk theme.


oh, and a big shout out to my aetheric sister puppetwych while i'm at it, big love to you pw!:)))

That sounds awesome! post pics! I can't wait to see! I wish I could see it live.

You can make a panflute out of straws. just bend the bottoms up to seal them and tape them. You can tune them by length. then tape them together and you will have a panpipe. drinking straws, that is.

I will try to remember other things later. I once illustrated a book with impromptu but real instruments. I'll try to find it and post more (I might or might not be able to find it now.) for now that is one suggestion.

i still love this. :))) maybe, in addition to puppets, you might consider adaptin it into a children's book -- ssort of like gaiman's "coroline." in any case, it's brilliant.

This would make an interesting puppet show!! And children's book as was suggested in another comment!

Percussion instruments are, of course, easiest...
You could make chimes from old copper pipe cut to differnt lengths... or a horn for that matter, or flute, or even a xylophone type thingy! Tha's some versatile pipe!

You are such a lunatic (just typed lunataic, but I don't think you're one of those).
