This is a test project. This will give you an overview of how to create your own Balinese Shadow Puppet.

Steps

Step #1:

NextPrev

Draw your design on a sheet of rawhide, accounting for the negative space that will be visible when this puppet is used to caste a shadow.
To learn more about designing for shadows, see [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayang|this site]
Any moving pieces -- such as limbs, gears, etc. -- should be designed as separate pieces.
Cut out each piece of rawhide in a rough way so you can work on each piece individually.
Do not try to cut the exact outline with your knife. This outline will be cut to the right shape with a chisel.
Remember to do this too!
