Hello, and welcome to Run Rabbit Run, I am glad you could join me. My name is Kelly, and I hope to use this space to introduce you to what I am up to, working on, interested in and inspired by. Some of you may know me as Kirkham Puppets; if you don't, feel free to check out my Kirkham Puppets Blog here. There will be plenty of puppet-y goodness on this website too, in addition to illustration and art.
If you take a look at the accompanying photo, you will see a part of my workspace in the studio. Papier mache materials, bird reference book, acrylics, brushes, coloured pencils all at the ready. A finished papier mache chickadee puppet head sits in the foreground. He is one of two bird puppets(the other being a common yellowthroat) created for a show in Chatham Ontario, entitled 'Big Spaces, Small Animals'. I also made a video, with the filming and editing help of Brynley, of the chickadee and yellowthroat puppets at the Beaches here in Toronto. Please forgive their performances, they were feeling a little stiff and out-of-sorts that day.
