About This Marionette
When I designed Darwin the Wizard I wanted to make the hands one of the most expressive features.
Like most Wizards, Darwin has a long flowing beard which obscures most of his face.
Focusing on the hands let me give a large range of expression to this marionette.
His mouth is a feature that opens and closes as he casts his spells.
Easy to control with just four strings, Darwin the Wizard is one of the most popular puppets in my marionette series.
Darwin The Wizard's Story
Darwin practices magic with a passion and is well respected far and wide for his talents as a Wizard.
He uses his magic to help the town's people when seemingly unsolvable problems arise.
So the people of the town feel very secure knowing that Darwin will always save the day.
Throughout his life he has embarked on long spell collecting expeditions, gathering spells and potions from the corners of the Kingdom and has made careful note of them in a big black book.
But now Darwin has lost the book containing his life's work.
His quest to find this book of spells is hindered by his companions and his failing memory, which he must rely on, when casting spells of magic.
The results are often surprising as he frequently gets them wrong.
