{"product_id":"the-mummy","title":"The Mummy: Classic Marionette Puppet","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe very first 6-string design I ever created was the Mummy being quite simply a head with its clay counter-balances, simply assembled and costumed with a single strip of ragged material wound about it. From that basic design did every other concept and idea spring forth and of course we’re still making them, albeit with a little more finessing and attention-to-detail than those first organic attempts. A simple but effective starting point for any aspiring puppeteer of any age!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSqueaky Classics: Original designs for all ages from our early roots til now!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first puppet I ever made in our standard 6-string design was a little Mummy marionette, a simple bandaged affair which utilised the weight of the clay pieces and the meagre costuming to create a proper functioning prototype which remains the core design behind most of our work to date. By working with some basic archetypes and alternating through gender, age and cultural influences, I developed a classic range of differing characters which are a continuing part of the Squeaking Tribe canon today. As familiar as these characters are to me now, I keep the joy alive by incorporating more details and personal quirks than I did in the past, so each one still retains its own unique identity. For the budget-minded, these are a good starting point to gauge your interest without betting the farm. A perfect launch-pad for the young ones, too!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarionette in doll form is approximately 25cm in height or 60cm when strung. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Squeaking Tribe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50116467425584,"sku":"CLA0018","price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/1756\/9584\/files\/IMG_6233.jpg?v=1768179541","url":"https:\/\/squeakingtribe.com\/products\/the-mummy","provider":"The Squeaking Tribe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
