Handmade and portable!
I also got a good shot of the "whirlyjigs" (wooden lawn ornaments that spin in the breeze) he makes, but accidentally deleted it.
Day 56
Rob’s puppet theater
May 21st, 2010
I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

Here's my progress so far:
What can’t he do?? (But, can he play the accordian?) I wish there was a video clip of the puppet show.
I’m still amazed at the number of wonderful people you’ve met.
whirlyjigs? that’s a great name for them! now, stop losing pictures! first the postman and now WHIRLYJIGS?!?! haha
Rob is awesome-too freaking talented!
Matt, I bet it won’t be long before he makes a puppet of you, and your cart, to put in his show, or at least a whirlygig of you for his yard. Ha! You and your cart would make a great one, and you could be walkin’ in the wind.
In case anyone here wants to make their own whirlyjigs (also whirlygigs, whirlys, and so on), I came across these sites:
