- Mannequin
Mania - La Trobe (2007) - "Mannequin
Mania” was a project commissioned for National
Youth Week 2007 by LaTrobe Council, Northern Tasmania.
Six large parade puppets were built by twenty students
from LaTrobe High School over a three day period. The
theme was “Launch Yourself” . Out of this
came six very different backpack puppets including a
Dragon, a bird, wasp, fairy angel, hippie and a frog.
All these fantastic creations are being used at different
events during Youth Week and beyond by the same students
that created them. They were built utilising a lot of
recycled materials sourced from the excellent tip shops
that are everywhere in Tasmania.

- Felicity
Sweetlips - Port Sorrell Regatta (2007) -
Felicity Sweetlips was a parade puppet that was commissioned
for the 2007 Port Sorrell Regatta in Northern Tasmania.
It was designed so that on the day of the Regatta members
of the public who were visiting the event could design,
draw and decorate their own fish scales which were added
to the puppet throughout the day. Felicity then “swam” her
way around the event. She is now being used as a display
at special events throughout the Latrobe Council area.
