Mowgli

Mowgli, or the Jungle-book, as it called in Norwegian, is Haugesund teatre´s big family-show this spring.

I am in charge of props, and some of the really fun things have to be made by hand. Like the fishing rod and the hand-held fishing-net. I had a trip into the jungle in my back-yard and got some nice wood to work around. Deconstructing a jute-carpet to get a softer material to knot.

Finding soft, light fish that don´t break or “clank” if you drop them was also hard to find. So I´m probably making them myself. Here is the first one in the making. It will be stuffed and painted.
