As we build more giant puppets we can use our community's help in tracking down many used and recyclable materials to get creative with!
Email Moni if you would like to donate the following and are able to drop materials off in North Portland:
CARDBOARD: Big sheets, appliance boxes, and medium-to-large Amazon boxes are our favorites.
CLAY: Water-based/ceramic sculpting clay.
CORRUGATED PLASTIC YARD SIGNS: When political season is over we want to sculpt your signs into puppet heads.
FABRIC: Rip-stop nylon fabric, plus other lightweight, quick-dry, fabrics in large segments. Lycra and spandex. Both colorful and neutral colors, but not patterned.
PACKING FOAM, FLEXIBLE: Ethafoam/polyethylene packing material (same stuff pool noodles are made of).
BUBBLE WRAP: Small bubbles, big sheets
PAINT BRUSHES: Medium and small. Used is fine as long as they are still usable.
PAPER for PAPER MACHE: Butcher paper and school bulletin board paper--used is great! Also white paper bread flour and sugar bags (10lbs and 25lbs).
FLUORESCENT THINGS: Materials that will glow under black-light, including strips of neon marking tape, neon acrylic paints, glow in the dark paint, and old neon clothing (like t-shirts) that can be cut up and made into costumes, or to decorate puppet bodies.
