Custom-Made Puppets

These puppets were commissioned by the Worcester Art Museum for children to play with during their visit to the Arms and Armor Exhibit, November 22, 2025–February 16, 2026. All the armor and weapons needed to be soft, quite an oxymoron! I chose to make two different styles of European armor, a samurai, and a Moro warrior from the Philippines. The armor for the horse was inspired by 16th Century Italian horse armor.
