When I was much younger, I envied my older brother's air of suave accomplishment. Along with a few of his other talents, I thought his facility with shadow hand puppetry was too cool for words. Not only could he do the alligator and the butterfly (as who among us cannot?) he could do the barking dog. I felt humbled.
Well, it's a new day comrades. Ancient wisdom, unearthed anew, shows that my elder sib was only a mewling novice. Check out this wealth of lost shadow forms and remember to warm up before attempting the more ambitious examples.
