Great puppet and love your photos of marionettes under construction. As people who also make marionettes we really appreciate the "in progress" photos.
Really classy looking!

Tony- I have no doubt of the value of the wonderful skeleton puppet you make, I just want one very much and I don't think I can come up with $350 for it. As one reader said--do you consider payments?

Dave Goboff said… - How cool is that? Someone looks for a marionette, someone provides a link and then the puppet maker/manipulator himself is already on Puppet Hub to answer the question. It is quite a small world.
Nice to meet you and wow! you make really wonderful puppets!

Jan King said… - Hello Tony,
Good to meet you yesterday at the May Fayre. Seeing so many Punch and Judy's makes me wonder how many marionette people there are in Britain?
Keep in touch. Best wishes,

- Hi Tony-
I started with marionettes and still make them also- although I haven't carved figures for a long time - enjoy it when I do though !
I tend to model heads , I prefer that method if honest . However there's nothing quite like a fully carved figure . You're right the market is very limited for puppets of this type ,but great to see them popping up again ! Keep up the good work and enjoy !
