Subject: [Puptcrit] ceamic string marionnette: follow-up


I contacted the ceramic artist, and she was thrilled to hear of the possibilities.
Thank you all for the help and references.
I am also very interested in what she will be coming up with.
She wants to make a puppet as objet d'art, instead of using it for actual performing.
But It still needs to move well.

I suggested she take a look at mobiles, to maybe use weight and balance to make the puppet self-moving (with the help of gentle wind)  and take a listen at chimes (the ceramic is bound to make sound when it touches itself, so why not use that?).

First, she'll make a prototype, then she'll understand the problems that she needs to solve.
She has easy access to a kiln, so she can work directly with the ceramic.
She's also familiar with multi-part moldmaking, so I'm not worried for technical difficulties.

If after her prototype, she feels she needs help, then she can contact me and we can arrange a troubleshooting session.
I find that this is a good way to sort people out. The unmotivated give up, and that's perfect for me, as I don't want to deal with those anymore.
Of course, I could make easy money if I reccomended a meeting right away, but that's just not my drive.

I told her about the puppet event coming up, and reccomended she come see the "short pieces" evening, featuring two short pieces by basil Twist. His Stickman could surely inspire her.
