Work In Progress: A Winged Penis Marionette and a Bird Marionette

 I started work on a winged-penis marionette, based on a Roman fascinus. The wings and scrotum will be movable to give the puppet “character”. It will be on a wire controller.

I continue to work on the bird marionette. I like how it’s turning out. Legs and paint, and then the rigging of the strings to come.

Marionette

 This is Strandmann. He’s a spirit who had for eons flitted about frightfully on the beach. One day it occurred to him that the driftwood that lay all about the strand could be of use to him. He used the driftwood for extremities and a good, strong chin. Now Strandmann is a fine flaneur of the fjords.
