I made another puppet head of Punch the other day because I felt the first was not Punch-like enough. Meanwhile, Daniel has made puppet heads of Joey the Clown and the Policeman, as well as finishing the Devil he made some time ago. Everything needs to be painted, but that will have to wait until I can afford the proper paints. Other Punch & Judy characters remaining to be made are the Baby, the Ghost, the Hangman, the Crocodile, Hector the Horse, and Toby the Dog. Daniel made a Ghost already, but the neck is too thin and fragile, so we shall either try to reinforce it or make another puppet head.
I also need to start working on the hands. I am undecided about whether to make molds or make each one individually.
I’m still brainstorming about marionette construction, marionette theatre construction, and marionette plays. I know it will involve much more time, work, and expense. It is a longterm goal.
