What materials do you use for marionettes?
As mentioned in my short post about what materials to use when making a puppet, there’s no hard and fast rules as to what to use when building a puppet. However, marionettes are generally one of the puppet types that have some standard industry materials, because these puppets are quite complex and must deal with a lot of physical (and physics!) limitations. To make this easier, I’ll split this article into sections: materials for the puppet itself; joints; strings; and controls.
