Chickinbone!
a few days ago on my main blog i wrote up an idea i had involving Firebringer and puppets, and while i am yet to write a more polished version for this blog i have started work on a puppet for it
this is going to be a little zazzalil (ive nicknamed the puppet Chickinbone). shes designed to be 80cm tall, though i havent measured how tall the frame ended up being. Since i took these photos i have added arm rods and a handle to the back of her head. The puppet is designed to be easily detatchable, with the ankles attatching to magnets ive been taping between my toes, and a hook attatchment that fits onto my belt plus a secondaty waist strap. mechanics tests have gone well so far (although i need some practice) and I have started to build onto the frame with fabric, sticks and chicken bones. the face is paper mache on a cardboard base, and I plan on painting it to look as if it was carved out of wood. when ive finished her ill post some pictures of her finished design and probably some notes about design choices, and maybe a video of her in action.
