@75cutiegirl, I'm sure some people would prefer to use a Halloween decoration, but that wasn't the point. As explained in the tutorial, the instructions were based on my first marionette, which used a teddy bear simply because that's what was on hand. I wanted to learn the basics of marionette stringing, rather than focus on building the puppet itself. Since that was what I made, that's what I used for the tutorial. Having said that, it's not like you can't interchange a skeleton (toy or decoration or even a carved wooden skeleton) instead of a teddy bear. The instructions would be exactly the same, just attach the strings to whatever else you decide to use.

Hi scafool, Thanks for the comments - yes, I'm the one who made the tutorial and added it to Instructables. I've been meaning to update both of them with some more photos but never quite get around to it Thanks for the compliments, I'm glad you like it. Cheers, Naomi

If you are na3 who posted this on the Instructibles site you should repost it. This version is much better.
