[@serenemachine9110]

I love this video but my favorite part was watching it move at the end. It was so lifelike.

I’m making a marionette puppet at school and your puppets have inspired me, I’m wondering how you sew and attach the hair to the head.

[@Barbora.Mihokova]

To make the wig I use mending threads - I wind them around a book and create two sections of hair of the desired thickness and length. First, I sew one section of hair in the middle, then I lay the other section on top of the first one in a cross shape, and sew them together in the middle. After that, I brush the wig, apply water-based white glue onto the head and stick it on. But there are more ways to make a wig - one of them, for example, is using a wig cap.

Thank you

[@bobpalmer5923]

This is exactly what I'm looking for. Will this be in stock in the future?

Hi, I only created a limited number of these kits in 2022 to try it and see how it will go. It turned out that making these kits at home (I don't have a workshop, I live in a small apartment) wasn't a very good idea. I spent hours fixing air bubbles, there was resin dust everywhere, and the production was very expensive, too, so even with the relatively high price for a kit it wasn't profitable at all (I only just managed to break-even.). Therefore, I rather decided to make a tutorial on how to create each piece of a marionette from scratch, using materials like wood, clay, and metal fasteners, instead of ready-made kits.

Hipnotizada con tu trabajo 💗

[@thomasfurlano9106]

wow so cute and loveable now to wait for the blue fairy to use her wand on the little boy puppet and make him become real while Geppetto is sleeping his dreaming sleep.

[@melbacarolinaherreraramire5511]

Que materiales usas para hacer la muñeca??? ❤

[@Barbora.Mihokova]

I usually use wood, clay, and metal fasteners. But these kits were made from polyurethane resin.

[@alexeydemin1570]

Отлично!!!!😊

[@arlindojosevogel]

onde consigo comprar uma marionete aqui no Brasil?

[@Barbora.Mihokova]

Hi, I had created only a limited number of these kits, to see if people are interested in them at all, before creating larger amount. I'm currently most focused on puppet performances. After I gather some customer feedback on my kits and also improve the process of creating them (I don't have a workshop yet, I make them at home), I will consider making another batch :)

[@Doyle-nl3xc]

I too would be interested in purchasing this DIY kit especially in a performance size like 60 cm. How large is the one you put together on this posting?

[@lynettehickman5757]

Where would some one find the parts I want to make most of them but some of my not sure of

[@Barbora.Mihokova]

I don't make these kits anymore, but I have tutorials on how to create a marionette from wood and clay.

[@juguetesdiyenporcelanayarc4328]

Fantastic 💯

[@159DMC]

donde puedo comprar este kit de marioneta de este video estoy interesado Where can I buy this puppet kit from this video I'm interested

[@Barbora.Mihokova]

I had only created a limited number of these kits, to see if people are interested in them at all, before creating larger amount. We also have a family puppet theater and many puppet performances - that's what I'm currently most focused on. After I gather some customer feedback and also improve the process of creating these kits (I don't have a workshop yet, I make them at home), I will consider making another batch of DIY KITs :)

[@sophiamccullough9975]

Hi can u try to do a video on the puppets that paint like how the hand mechanism works..? I subscribed lol love your stuff

[@Barbora.Mihokova]

Hi Sophia, thank you so much for your comment :)The wrist joint I make allows hand movements (it is attached to the forearm with a nylon string the same the way the beads are threaded), but the fingers do not move. If I ever make a puppet with moving fingers, I will definitely post some pictures or make a video.

[@japanesejellyfish8447]

Where can I buy these marionettes?

[@Barbora.Mihokova]

I don't make these kits anymore, but I offer tutorials on how to create a marionette from wood and clay. Currently, I am mostly focused on our puppet theater and puppet performances, but when there's time, I also create marionettes (made up characters) which I sell on Etsy.

[@misha_levotski]

Hello ! Do you make your puppets with a 3D printer?😊

[@Barbora.Mihokova]

I haven't tried to use a 3d printer yet. I think the production would be way too expensive (as well as resin casting), which would make the price of these kits astronomical (plus shipping). That's why I rather decided to make a tutorial on how to create a marionette from scratch, using wood and clay.

[@RhondaHitzfeld]

Hello, how big/tall was this marionette? I wished you still made the personal faces. I have 4 grandchildren that would LOVE them. I live in United States, Texas. Since you are ni longer doing the personlized faces, do you know of any Marinette Builders that would personlized a face here? Thankyou. Love your work.

[@Barbora.Mihokova]

The marionette from this DIY kit is approx. 31cm tall (12 inches). Even though I no longer make these kits, I have tutorials (one on Etsy as a digital book, and another one on Skillshare) on how to create a marionette of the same size (from wood and clay). When it comes to personalized marionettes, I don't make them anymore (maybe I will again in the future), but I am sure there are other puppet makers who make personalized marionettes, too. I don't know any of these puppet makers in person, but I've seen some of them advertising custom marionettes, or marionettes based on photos, e.g. on Etsy.

[@RhondaHitzfeld]

Thank you so much for getting back to me. Blessing to you.

[@alancoldicott391]

[@Some-one___]

Can you do a video to show us how to get the hair and clothes without sewing because I cannot do it.But still great work❤

[@Barbora.Mihokova]

I don't know where to buy clothes and hair for marionettes, because I always make my own. Maybe you can try to search for doll clothes and accessories. I plan to make some easy sewing tutorials as well.
