It is believed that shadow puppetry theatre originated in Central Asia-China or in India in the 1st millennium BCE, but unsurprisingly given how long it has been around no-one is 100% sure of its origins. It certainly feels like another lifetime when I came across these ones in the Museum of Childhood.

The theme is Shadows, and the tag is NovemberShadows.

I am squaring daily and mostly focusing on dark shapes, silhouettes and reflective shadows but you don’t need to do the same! The dictionaries highlight that shadows can also be an illusory image, a remnant of a thing, an imitation, an inseparable companion and of course partial light. The frequency of your squares can be whatever suits you and your blog. The only thing you have to remember is to stay square with your November Shadows.
