A Fascinating Handicraft
Florence Drake · Handicrafter, May-June 1932
Article · 2 pages
A short 1932 magazine article giving instructions for making a simple string marionette from wooden dowels, kindling wood and muslin hinges. It covers carving the head, jointing the limbs, weighting, painting and hair, stringing with seven strings, and making two controller sticks from a yardstick. It ends with suggestions for improvising a puppet theatre. It includes a photograph and an actual-size pattern drawing, and has nothing on weaving.
