How to Make Shadow Puppets

With a light and a white wall you can create your own virtual zoo using only your two hands. I’ve never gotten past making bunny ears on the wall or what might pass for a barking dog, but these are some complex and creative shadow puppets. haha.nu has images showing you how to make shadow puppets that look like everything from an elephant to a wild boar using slight hand controtions in front of a light. A full set of the illustrations is available for download by way of a book by Henry Bursill in the Project Gutenberg collection.
Found on Fark.
