Wendy Widow

Wendy Widow

Wendy Widow is the femme fatale of Bugsy Brown: Private Fly. The puppet is built around a simple mechanism controlled by a thumb trigger which moves her head back and forth. Wendy has rare earth magnets taped to the tips of her two front legs. The magnets stick to a metal plate attached to the front of the puppet stage, allowing Wendy to stand. By moving her body while her legs are stationary, I can create some very dynamic poses.
