Marionette a la planchette
May. 16th, 2014 10:09 pm Here's something I was unaware of until now.
A variation on the jig doll, but in a way that allows a musician to play an instrument and control the doll at the same time.
I am suddenly suffering a terrible temptation to try this with Alex V...
I can never decide whether to simplify Alex's costume or not. He looks wonderful in his full costume, but it also prevents his limbs from swinging freely. I could remove his trousers and paint his legs black and do the same for his arms, but I can't quite bring myself to do it. (He keeps his tatters whatever happens)
