In 2024, I’m studying building wooden puppets online in The Puppet Academy.
Here’s another puppet I’ve just finished carving.
This time, it was time to practice the making of rod puppets.
I was inspired by Arthur in his chubby fish form in the Disney movie The Sword in the Stone for this puppet.
After lots of carving, sanding and glueing – Affen was born!
(Affen is a cute way to say ahven which is a perch in Finnish.)
Then I added some fishy shine on Affen:
Eek, its tummy is way too cute!!!
I can’t help it but I’ve fallen in love with these colors on Affen’s tummy. There’s something wonderful in white with green and red…
Last, I added a rod,
some strings, &
then it’s time to swim!
Now that Affen is here, I’m getting to know it by patiently tuning into what kind of stories it could tell. I think it’s going to love pranks, because it was born on April Fool’s Day!
But all in good time.
