I've been doing a lot of research lately on marionette making. I've always had an interest in puppets- but more recently I find vintage marionettes fascinating. It is an old craft, an art form really- transforming a wooden figure into a dancing puppet. So out to the shed I go, where I am making my own. Being a carpenter, Mike has an endless supply of wood scraps. So today I'm Gipetto- a good day indeed! I will keep you posted!

Look at these! I might have to get them! These 3 vintage marionettes are for sale from Etsy's JunkyardGypsy- you can find them here. I LOVE these!
