For an extra $100 Eric will string your marionette to a "Fish
Style" controller.
The Fish controller allows simple yet precise motion
of the head, has strings to the palms and back of the hands, and additional strings to control elbows, wide
flinging of arms, and to "moon" walk (backwards).

Both a performing
marionette and a likeness, the piece above was commissioned
by Michelle Schulz who uses it regularly at the Maryland Renaissance Festival.

Especially challenging
was a unique stringing arrangement to allow the puppet to "hunker
down" close to the ground and still be fully functional.
We recently had a
chance to give it an overhaul during which we added two more unique strings,
which allow the marionette to scratch its backside (mimicking the actual
performer)

Above and left,
The Crone, a marionette we built that used an unusual controller mechanism
and had only 5
strings.
She was simple to operate and quite adept
at swooping and swirling dancingly.
