Beautiful Shadow Puppets

My order from this shop arrived very quickly, and in the most lovely package. The puppets are stunning! More beautiful in person than in the photos. And Marcus was very kind and attentive. Extremely knowledgeable and passionate about puppetry, and generous in sharing his expertise. Thank you!
