Crankbunny Paper Puppet

Norma Toraya, aka crankbunny, creator of the awesomeness that is the Secret Decoder Card (among many other totally cool paper pretties), has a new book! Paper Puppet Palooza is a “storybook instructional on building paper puppets”, and it looks like a wonderfully whimsical read, filled with beautiful paper creations (see previews). – found via Craftzine

You can get a taste of what’s in the book by checking out Etsy’s most recent How-Tuesday feature, where you can download and create the Jacques finger puppet shown above. Don’t you just love his little unicycle?
