The Jack Straw Marionette Art Kit is an introduction to the world of puppetry that dates back to the time of the Egyptians. Jack Straw is a North American Jackalope. This rarely seen mythical creature inhabits the southwest and is a highly intelligent being. Little is known about the trickster Jackalope and rumors abound.
This kit contains all of the parts to build Jack Straw. A few additional tools and materials are required. These additional items include a box cutter or wood carving knife, a hammer, a screw-driver, super glue or wood glue, scissors, linseed oil or acrylic paints, dust mask, work gloves & safety glasses. To mount the wall bracket you will also need a power drill and 3/16” bit.
The kit includes a set of directions and there is also an instructional video below.
Note that product images are shown for reference only. Being made from natural materials, each marionette will have its own characteristics and anomalies found in wood. i.e. variations in grain, tone, knots and texture.
