Wooden Fox - making a traditional marionette

[@magamemes3453]

My grandfather taught me to always wear a glove on the hand holding the wood while carving. He saw my hand after carving a wood spirit (my first carve). I had over a dozen cuts on my hand. That's when he decided to teach me the proper way. My grandfather liked to carve gypsy dancer and hula dancer lamps at that time.

I really like your persistence in doing this project, you seem to really love animals, so do I, thank you for making this video!

[@Vioricart]

My compliments! Thanks for sharing!

[@drakedragonking4698]

This is incredibly beautiful, this inspires me to make my own puppet

[@illegalnoburrito149]

Wow, I must say, this is a nice learning video for me, especially since I’m using an entire tree for a puppet I’m working on. He’ll be more bigger than your puppet’s scale (2’5 without strings), so learning all these road bumps you had can definitely be accounted for when I make mine. Thank you for making such wonderful video!

[@charactersofcornwall]

Thank you! I am very glad to have helped!

The fox is soooo cuuuute! You're reminding me that I should post a couple of vids of my Drosselmyer marrionette!

[@simonwatson9730]

What a wonderful marionette! I came across this looking for inspiration (I’m about to start making a fox marionette myself) Your whole way of working and problem solving is very impressive. Thanks for sharing.

[@adiconstantin4598]

Enjoyed the true story and the way you put it on video. Sorry for the finger accident - hope all is well now. I guess your fans would be curious to see the steps you follow in creating your next marionette (the cat/ the bear/ the little prince/ an E.T./...). Also, to find out what adventures their beloved Fox 🦊is up to

[@charactersofcornwall]

Thank you for watching! My finger is better now. For a while I couldn't feel the back of it - then it was itchy. Now more than a year later the feeling has come back! I just recently have been thinking of carving a set of Little Red Riding Hood characters. I shall make a film if I do!
