    Hello:
    Has anyone done Mary Zimmerman's "The Secret in the Wings"? 
    If so, I'd be very interested in how you did the snakes for "Snake Leaves".
    Thanks for sharing your ideas!

    We used the same technique that Mary did in the original production. We created snake puppets using white vinyl dryer hose and a white sock for the head. I can send you some video if you would like. We also have some clips of the show and others of hers we've done ( we're big fans of her work) on our You Tube Channel. Your kids are going to have a blast!

    We did it two years ago. We used dryer vent material  to create snake puppets on sticks (since it was in the "basement") Velcro allowed the pieces to go back together. We used silver and white to distinguish.
