Hi maps...okay I will go to Bangkok on October to see you and your marionettes

Can you make one for me please? I would rather get from a working pro than from a dealer.

I got a skeleton already from Dave Allen...Conrad Hartz speak highly of him, I was planning to get one from a Czech maker but if you can make one for me then I would rather get one from you.

I was kinda interested in the Czech marionette because it has moving eyes and mouth...very much like a vent figure.

Check it our here...let me know what you think please.

Hi Maps...I might not make it in Bangkok this year

Just bought a Jumbo Sidekick...plus we are fixing our kitchen and my wife will have a baby via C-Section this August...in other words, "I don't have extra money left"

You guys and gals have fun in Thailand

Sounds like someone was having fun at Wanlu's house...

Thanks for sharing the marionette (wow) video....

Also I understand house hold budgets and new props...I rememeber the year of new carpeting and siding on our Enchanted Cottage.


For a more digital approach.

Thanks guys

We are fixing our kitchen cabinets and extending the kitchen...we want something nice and modern this time...the last design we had was way too small and rather flimsy

Now back to the topic...

I'm still waiting for my marionette from Dave Allen. A skeleton marionette

Still waiting...

The marionette maker that I asked to make my first marionette told me that it will be ready in a week...but its been a month and no marionette. I'm starting to lose interest

I also sell puppets...when we tell a buyer to give us 3 weeks to make his puppet, we are usually done in less than 3 weeks.

If there is any delay, we plan to inform a buyer of such delays and the reason of the delay. But so far...no delays.

Too bad...I really wanted to add a marionette or two in my act

I finally ordered my very first marionette...I ordered one before from a marionette maker at WorldVents but it took ages til I lost my appetitie for marionettes and decided not to get one.

This time...our friend Frankie (maps) of Mascots and Puppets will make one for me

Thanks Frankie

Wanlu

I shld thank you Wanlu!
Actually Phillip Huber is my mentor

My Elvis marionette from Frankie arrived today...

It's a work of art...I can't stop playing with it.

Give me a month or two (or 3 or 4) and I'll post a video

Thanks Frankie

It won't take you take long Wanlu. It'll only take 2 weeks.....if you practise 24 hrs a day! Jst kidding!
I am glad you like him.

Lucky you Wanlu. You now own one of the world's best made marionettes. Frankie has shared with you his lifetime of knowledge in making that.

A long time ago (25 years) I saw Bill Stickland perform his "Living Marionettes". That was something entirely different. His head was part of the marionettes he presented. It was amazing for me. You had to have lots of character personalities to perform that act.

With the string marionettes, it is the puppeteer who brings life to the figure and makes it a star of the show.

I am still undecided on what marionette I will get from Frankie. Definitely, it will be a popular personality that I can use for my family shows. How about that striptease act (just kidding). Maybe, I will.

Tks Lou for the kind comment.
Some of the popular characters tat are easy to manipulate are the juggler and belly dancer(You can use her with the striptease music that you were searching for sometime back}.There's also the breakapart skeleton which always gets lots of response.You can see some of these in my promo here :

The stripper is quite complex to reset.
Let me know how I can help you design yr popular personality for yr family show.

Btw,the stripper marionette was from Jim Gamble.
Phillip Huber doesn't have a stripper,

Hi Frankie,

Which design do you suggest I get next?

Wanlu
