Australian Wooden Toys: 20 Animated Animals to Make - Paperback
by Claire R. Schofield (Author)
All of the toys in this book represent Australian animals, and all of them move in some fashion. As their movements are realistic and suggestive of each animal, they all qualify as puppets. Claire Schofield's designs use mechanisms ranging from her own inventions and adaptations, to mechanisms that have survived hundreds (if not thousands) of years. She provides step-by-step instructions, along with detailed drawings and photographs. The 20 projects are arranged from a "beginner" level through to "really tricky" projects that will challenge any toy enthusiast.
Claire Schofield has been working as a toymaker and puppeteer for the past twenty years. She is in her eighties, and this is her retirement hobby.
