Here are components of Hamlet's costume and the actor being fitted . I took some photos with a black ruff around the neck and he wasn't working as Hamlet, so I decided he needed a more complete (less lazy) costume to work in the part . I looked on the web for toy theatres today, and found some quite wonderful things:A video from Naomi Guss in Melbourne on how to make a toy theatre (parents - something to do on Spring break in the event of rain!).
A post about a toy theatre from a theatre director at Enchanted Revelry (Piaf advisory). A very upbeat blog, with sensibility to spare.
This remarkable work at Mike Healey's Artstore and Gallery (he takes commissions)
It is my intention to make a small printable theatre to download to promote this venture, but for now, I'd better get stitching.

He looks huge!!!! Very cool.
oooh so sweet
I'm just coming off an enthusiastic viewing of the Canadian tv series SLINGS & ARROWS, all about things Shakespeare, in particular Hamlet, so this was an appropos post. Wonderful mixture of textures in that first photo!
See, I just love your china assemblage dolls.. they are sooo quirky.
But... Hamlet looks like a girl! What will children who see this think? And "Hamlet in China"? The sexual overtones are simply shocking! I may have to flag this blog...
;-)
This is a great pun on words! Very funny, especially at first glance.
Sorry, I did not understand your last sentence in the comment you wrote on my sale...
Rick - to read Venus in Furs" into "Hamlet in China" requires a truly perverse imagination.
How clever, I can't wait to see the play :P
An object d'art in the true sense of the word. I am enamoured!
