Treebeard Marionette

In my puppetry class at UNLV, I designed and created a marionette out of trash and found items. The marionette was designed to look like Treebeard from the Lord of the Rings. Paper clips, crumbled paper, painter's tape, papier-mâché, aluminum foil, pool noodle, sponge, jute twine, acrylic paint, fishing line, and wooden dowels were used to make the Treebeard marionette.
