A photgraphic essay with the creators own calligraphic notes , with pictures taken around 1980 of the renowned puppetteer Paul E. Peabody This is a cardboard descriptive essay on how my father created his characters , without power tools and a small window into how fanciful marionettes were, and are still created by a few woodworkers who stick to this old style of creation with spring pole lathe, sawhorse, chisels mallets, and LOTS of shavings !
