At Goodwill for $1.00, I found this great Hallmark puppy...he was a graduation gift for 2006 and a card was still dangling from his mouth "Kim. Way to Go! Love Jet, Mel and Demi. P.S. Rover always has a second home :)". Here's a picture:
His second home turned out to be mine where I started off by disassembling him and giving him a new neck! But he made it through the surgery fine. I've also finally added a much requested string. See if you can guess which it is:
Want to learn how to convert a stuffed animal into a marionette?
I explain how in these really old blog posts:
Pick the puppy
Make controls
New Neck
Tails
Leg Stitches
Eye hook secret
Stringing...well I never did post about stringing. I believe at some point I said I would post if anyone asked me to and no one did.

Yes, please post stringing. I have never done anything this complicated before. I haven't started yet, but want to make several for my daughter's ballet class.
I was originally making the easy marionette puppet, but these are just too cute!
So cute! Loved him. My friend took a very large stuffed dog once and used heavy fishing line and strung him up as a marionette. This is a good idea.
I'll work on a stringing post for you. I'm so glad someone asked for it!
The stringing post is up:
