Sammy With No Strings

When a black puppet name Sammy, performing at the hands of his malevolent puppeteer, falls in love with a beautiful woman in his audience, he sets his sights on freedom from his strings to live a life of dignity and humanity with her. This project I used my pattern making skills and took on a new skill- woodworking! We needed to make sure the hips and arms were flexible enough to move but also stiff enough to be believable.
