Cheshire Cat Marionette

In this case the head of the marionette will be a mixture of materials, however the base will be Papier-mâché, to keep weight down since the final puppet will be layered in fur, I have enjoyed it also, many original Marionettes from the 19th century were made this way, resulting in even more excitement

The eyes and teeth have now been placed.
