Tiny Organisms Escape Life Under a Microscope in Oversized Puppets by Judith Hope
Colossal: The familiar faces of friendly puppets like Kermit and Elmo are missing from Judith Hope’s enlarged microbe creations that magnify the world’s tiniest organisms. A brown bacteriophage, commonly known as a virus, features six moveable legs powered by a hand-operated device, while a pink tardigrade stands upright and sways side-to-side.

I have to hand it to the makers of this puppet, you can never cap imagination and creativity. There are so many strange things that people find fascinating and decide to dedicate their time and craft too. The puppet in the picture is amazing. It truly looks like something out of a horror film, and it is even more horrifying than it is a real thing! (Just millions of times smaller than the thing pictured). I also don’t understand when or why the tardigrade because trendy and cute but to each their own. People find so many interesting ways to create art, the puppets and models are beautifully disgusting and very interesting to look at and ponder. I was starting to question what these puppets were being used for but I see that they are being used for some sort of film? I don’t think I will be looking into the film but these puppets are very unique and I admire the craftsmanship of each puppet! I would love to see more of these creators work in the future!
