Activity Ideas - Squish Squash and Squeeze I have had loads of emails about planning since I posted about my work with Tim so my next post will be a planning one (or two, if I can't fit it into one)! In the mean time thought I would share my activities from today with you... It was meant to be a rare day off but it seems that the printing press waits for no man and I had to get my photoshoot sorted out for the next '50 Fantastic Things' book. I have to say a HUGE thank you to Jo and all of the team at Penguins Pre-School in Timperley who were super organised and super helpful and made the shoot run like a dream.
How we made: Alison Prince and Brian Cant on Trumpton Alison Prince, scriptwriter I'd written a children's series called Joe, so I was already kicking around the BBC. At some point, Monica Sims, head of children's broadcasting, said: "Oh, you wouldn't like to write some stories for a puppet series, would you?" She was a very offhand woman; she'd been a naval officer.

Da Vinci's Ghost: How The Vitruvian Man Came To Be by Maria Popova Fifteen centuries of combinatorial creativity, or what Leonardo’s to-do list has to do with ancient Rome. In the first century B.C., at the dawn of the Roman imperial age, the architect and thinker Vitruvius proposed that the human body could fit inside a circle, symbolic of the divine, and a square, associated with the earthly and secular — an idea that later became known as the theory of the microcosm, and came to power European religious, scientific, and artistic ideologies for centuries. Some fifteen hundred years later, in 1487, Leonardo da Vinci rediscovered Vitruvius’s theories and put them into form. Thus, the Vitruvian Man was born — one of humanity’s most powerful, iconic, and enduring images, and a cornerstone of mapping the body, dominating visual culture in everything from books to billboards.
Bulking Out a Puppet- Mail Man I think I'll take a little break from talking about my puppet head construction and save part III for another time. Today I'll be showing the progress of adding padding to bulk out my puppet. Unlike 'Elle' (Our actress character) who's body is mostly sculpted and cast in silicone, the Mail Man's will be padded out using sponges and foams since most of his body is covered by his uniform. Once the armature is padded out his clothing will be made to fit and sewn together using real fabrics. There will be two Mail Man puppets used for filming so I will be working on both armatures simultaneously to make sure the two puppets are padded identically.
'The oldest work of art ever': 42,000-year-old paintings of seals found in Spanish cave Six paintings were found in the Nerja Caves, 35miles east of MalagaThey are the only known artistic images created by Neanderthal man By Tom Worden for MailOnline Updated: 21:27 GMT, 7 February 2012 The world's oldest works of art have been found in a cave on Spain's Costa del Sol, scientists believe. Six paintings of seals are at least 42,000 years old and are the only known artistic images created by Neanderthal man, experts claim. Professor Jose Luis Sanchidrian, from the University of Cordoba, described the discovery as 'an academic bombshell', as all previous art work has been attributed to Homo sapiens.
Rare Photos: Hitler's Bunker, Captured by LIFE Photographer In April 1945, as Russian and German troops fought — savagely, street by street — for control of the German capital, it became increasingly clear that the Allies would win the war in Europe. Not long after the two-week battle for Berlin ended, 33-year-old LIFE photographer William Vandivert was on the scene, photographing the city’s devastated landscape — and the eerie, almost unfathomable scene inside the bunker where Adolf Hitler spent the last months of his life; where he and Eva Braun were married; and where, just before war’s end, the two killed themselves. Between August 1940 and March 1945 American, Royal Air Force and Soviet bombers launched more than 350 air strikes on Berlin; tens of thousands of civilians were killed, and countless buildings — apartment buildings, government offices, military installations — were obliterated.
George Clooney's List of Top 100 Films from 1964 to 1976 George Clooney has given a list of his Top 100 films from 1964 to 1976, which he feels was “the greatest era in filmmaking by far." It's hard to argue with that, many of my favorite movies come out of that era. In an interview with Parade Magazine the actor and movie geek explained his list saying... There were great filmmakers—Mike Nichols, Hal Ashby, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese—you go down the list of these insanely talented filmmakers all working at the top of their game and kind of competing with each other.
