Is the mouth hinged in any way ? I can't tell by the photo. these guys have kind of evolved evolution style. All you need is one hatching from a egg and you'll have a children book.

Hi Billy,

I took some pics so you can see how I did it.

Thank You

That is just way to cool  This has truly been a wonderful journey. I must go back to the beginning and read it all again. Do you mind if I save the pictures and place in a folder for future reference.

Billy D.

Billy my friend,

feel free to save all the pics you want! It's a honour for me that they will be on your pc  .

Johan

Great work by yourself......and thanks for taking pictures of the process I know that many will benefit from these pictures now or in the future.......these puppets are turning into some amazing work.

Can't wait to see them in full action.......

After saving all the wonderful photos, I did not realize they were so many.................... These would make a great table top book. I did notice this and it may require you to start a new thread. Now that we have seen your artful side of building, is it possible to see how you costume these magnificent creatures. Costuming is very important in finishing the work of a artist. I don't know about the others but I'm very curious to see pictures of you designing and costuming a marionette. This would also complete my folder of your work.

Billy D.

I like the way it's turning out (A talk dragon marionette, cool)

Thx for all the appriciation,


Billy: the costuming will start next week, I hope, and yes, I will post pictures of it.

Daryl: me and my whife will start making a script for a new play were the dragons and the other puppets I've made will be part of it. When it's finished I will post a video of it.

Miguel: thx, I also like it that he moves his mouth. He's realy comming alive this way.

This afternoon I've been painting the little one. Here some pictures.

For all those dragon lovers: here you are a link to purchase a paper dragon automata. It can be useful to design new creatures
