Here’s my second attempt at a marionette. I made the head months ago but it took me awhile to decide that she’d be a steampunk princess. Actually, when I started making the body I had a biker babe in mind. This is just what I ended up with. My neighbor says that she is a bit creepy – what do you all think? Used Jonni’s head pattern printed at 50%. The hair is a re-purposed Halloween wig.
I love the face! No creepiness at all. Great job!
Love her realistic face! Would like to see the steps for the face and hair. Thanks for sharing!
I think she is great. You really worked hard.
People are often calling human-like figures creepy if they do not adhere to doll-like beauty. I think her face actually is quite beautiful Does it work as a marionette? Are the arms heavy enough?
Really thanks for sharing. She is great. I like her lived in face. Rhonda
Thank you! She does work although I’m not a very good puppeteer. I think the next one I do I’ll use two part (hinged) arms so it can move a little more gracefully.
