Dave and Linda Miller returned from an amazing trip to China last month. Among the photos Dave sent to me were these of a giant marionette and puppet that were a part of the Qin Dynasty Terra-Cotta Army Tour they took in Xi'an, China. I believe the incredible puppets were created as part of the 2008 Olympic spectacular. I guess when the world is your stage, size does make a difference! Dave (foreground of photo right) says he tried to make them talk but was unsuccessful due to the language barrier. :)
