For this Sunday I’m sharing the shadow puppets I made of Peter and the Wolf for Cyrus. We’ve been listening to a lot of Peter and the Wolf and I’ve been dreaming of making more shadow puppets, and we’re all cooped up and need things to do and so: this project.
It’s been gratifying to see how much Cyrus actually likes playing with them, simple as they are.
I made a rule when I was making these that I couldn’t draw them before cutting them out, and I couldn’t start over: just start cutting without planning and stick with the first draft. It helped me not to overthink it and gave them a nice liveliness that I would have ground out of it if allowed.

Wonderful! I like the liberties you’ve taken with the wolf especially. Very free and very evocative.
