Editor's Notes
- Basic layout of a human puppet
- Upper body has soft connections
- Leather chord held with pins. Fixed alignment, but flexible movement.
- Legs have hard (carved) joints
- Groove and notch
- Held with pins
- Foot has the arc of a circle with the radius from the knee. Allows smooth walking, rolling of the foot. I have never tried the shoes.
- Basic controller
- Head holds most of the weight
- Anchoring the head so it doesn’t swing to much. Nodding. Several emotions
- Anchors the whole body. Lifts it a bit, taking some of the weight from the head. Prevents wobbling while walking.

- On a toggle. When one is raised the other has slack to swing back.
- Out in front, easy to reach
