Thanks for your comment Evyn. Actually, this site is new, made up of content that is being moved from another site. There are a lot of articles and tutorials (some 400+) to move, so it takes me a little while to do it. I know the information isn't there currently, but it is coming.

If you're desperate, then you can find information about how to do shadow puppetry here:

(This link will not work in a few months time, but instead will redirect to School of Puppetry)
