I seem to have taken no time to document my puppet building process in the past. I believe these are the only snapshots taken of the work in progress. The Toulouse puppet was constucted with eyes which could be moved side to side and an articulated mouth as the puppet had not only to speak but also to sing during the performance. The head was built up on a heavy wire armature as in the top sketch with spring controls for both eyes and mouth. This is similar to the way a ventriloquists dummy is built, but Toulouse was no dummy!
