Just too weird to pass up. He may be gazing down at the unsuspecting public as they file in to get their shot of caffine unaware that at any moment shrapnel could explode around them... all brought on by the jolly drunk puppet from above.

Marioneta
Definición: Figurilla hecha de diversos materiales (madera, pasta, trapo, metal, plástico, etc.) que manipulada gracias a un conjunto de hilos o cuerdas cobra movimiento. Está considerada por los profesionales, estudiosos y artesanos del ramo, el títere más difícil de manipular y con una de las técnicas más antiguas, teniendo su origen en la marioneta de barra y a pesar de que "como muñeco totalmente movido por hilos sólo aparece a partir del siglo XVIII".
Historia
Grecia, Roma y Edad Media
Grabado del siglo XII del Códice Hortus Deliciarum (ca. 1150) de Herrad von Landsberg.
La técnica de muñecos manipulados con hilos era común entre los griegos, que llamaban a esas figuritas neurospasta, palabra que viene a significar "objeto puesto en movimiento por hilos", expresando así su naturaleza. Aristóteles habla de ellos cuando dice que si "aquellos que hacen mover figuritas de madera tiran el hilo que corresponde a éste o al otro de sus miembros, éste obedece al momento, y se ve así cómo mueven la cabeza, los ojos, las manos, de modo que parece una persona viva". También, ya en la cultura romana, habla de ellos Horacio.
La presencia de muñecos movidos con cuerdas en algunos primitivos grabados europeos sugiere cierta posibilidad de transición entre las máscaras de las farsas atelanas de los romanos y la marioneta medieval. El erudito titiritero cubano Freddy Artiles menciona como uno de los más antiguos, un grabado del siglo XII del Códice Hortus Deliciarum (ca. 1150) del abate Herrad von Landsberg, en el que aparecen dos jóvenes jugando con marionetas de hilos simulando guerreros que pelean sobre una mesa en una justa imaginaria (una puesta en escena gráfica de la técnica de los bavastels). También menciona Artiles otro grabado que muestra el taller de un titiritero fabricando los muñecos y concluye que aquellas figurillas con el cuerpo entero y articulaciones sencillas podían considerarse herederas de las marionetas romanas.
Títeres
Los artistas que construían y manejaban los muñecos recibieron en España el nombre de titereros (así se lee en El Quijote) o titiriteros. Como otros cómicos de la legua actuaban por lo general al aire libre, en corrales, o en los interiores de los mesones. En el Siglo de Oro español la palabra titiritero amplió su campo semántico y empezó a aludir no solo a los artistas de marionetas sino también a los saltimbanquis, acróbatas, prestidigitadores y volatineros. Ello produjo una serie de connotaciones negativas para el término "titiritero" que quedó asociado a aquellos que viven en los caminos y viven de sus diversas artes en el mundo de la farándula. También se les confundía o asimilaba en muchos casos con el charlatán. La figura del charlatán del siglo XVIII es un falso médico, con remedios falsos que lo curan todo. Encandilaban con su charla a los espectadores, tanto en espacios abiertos como en los salones donde eran invitados; estas personas tenían a gala el desprecio de los conocimientos antiguos y aseguraban que los suyos, más modernos, eran los que tenían valor. Eran profesionales de la palabra y con ella embaucaban y deslumbraban a su público. Hasta tal punto se apoderaron de la palabra títere que con ellos surgió la titeretería, el arte o la ciencia de los charlatanes.
Cervantes se refiere a esta forma teatral en dos ocasiones: en El retablo de las maravillas, entremés de 1615, y en los capítulos XXV y XXVI de la segunda parte de Don Quijote de la Mancha, publicada aquel mismo año.

Marionette / Puppets
A marionette is a puppet controlled from above using wires or strings depending on regional variations. A marionette's puppeteer is called a marionettist. Marionettes are operated with the puppeteer hidden or revealed to an audience by using a vertical or horizontal control bar in different forms of theatres or entertainment venues. They have also been used in films and on television. The attachment of the strings varies according to its character or purpose.
History
Ancient times

Main article: Puppetry
Puppetry is an ancient form of performance. Some historians[who?] claim that they predate actors in theatre.[citation needed] There is evidence that they were used in Egypt as early as 2000 BC when string-operated figures of wood were manipulated to act kneading bread and other string-controlled objects. Wire-controlled, articulated puppets made of clay and ivory have been found in Egyptian tombs. Marionette puppetry was used to display rituals and ceremonies using these string-operated figurines back in ancient times and is still used today.
Puppetry was practiced in Ancient Greece and the oldest written records of puppetry can be found in the works of Herodotus and Xenophon, dating from the 5th century BC. The Greek word translated as "puppet" is "νευρόσπαστος" (nevróspastos), which literally means "drawn by strings, string-pulling", from "νεῦρον" (nevron), meaning either "sinew, tendon, muscle, string", or "wire", and "σπάω" (spáō), meaning "draw, pull".
Aristotle (384–322 BC) discusses puppets in his work On the Motion of Animals:
The movements of animals may be compared with those of automatic puppets, which are set going on the occasion of a tiny movement; the levers are released and strike the twisted strings against one another.
Archimedes is known to have worked with marionettes.[citation needed] Plato's work also contains references to puppetry. The Iliad and the Odyssey were presented using puppetry. The roots of European puppetry probably extend back to the Greek plays with puppets played to the "common people" in the 5th century BC. By the 3rd century BC these plays would appear in the Theatre of Dionysus at the Acropolis.
In ancient Greece and Rome clay and ivory dolls, dated from around 500 BC, were found in children's tombs. These dolls had articulated arms and legs, some of which had an iron rod extending up from the tops of their heads. This rod was used to manipulate the doll from above, exactly as is done today in Sicilian puppetry. A few of these dolls had strings in place of the rods. Some researchers believe these ancient figures were mere toys and not puppets due to their small size.
The Indian word sutradhara, from sutra, refers to the show-manager of theatrical performances (or a puppet-player), and also means literally "string-puller" or "string-holder".

Puppet festival. [Explored]
The next town heading south from my home town is Stone.
In August they held the annual Puppet Festival, Mr Punch and his wife Judy plus Baby can be seen here in the bright costumes dancing in the High Street. Various puppeteers and their vintage puppets took place in the parade. There was also an old fashioned in-door circus, Punch and Judy show for the children and charity stalls plus market stalls selling all manor of vintage items. The Lord and Lady Mayoress of Stone can be seen just behind Judy.
Info on the history of Stone.
The town of Stone in Staffordshire is named after the sons of Wulhere, King of Mercia during the Saxon occupation of England in the seventh century.
The site where St Michael's Church in Stone now stands is thought to be the burial place of King Wulhere's sons, who were murdered by their father for converting to Christianity in 665 AD.
Wulfhere was a Pagan, but converted to Christianity in order to marry the daughter of the King of Kent.
He later converted back to Paganism, and demanded that his sons follow his lead.
Whilst out on a hunting trip the princes are said to have followed a white stag to St Chad's Church in Eccleshall, where they were blessed and baptised by Chad, then Bishop of Lichfield.
On hearing that his sons had betrayed him, he murdered them both with his own sword.
The princes were buried under a pile of stones, as was the Saxon tradition.
Wulfhere later repented, asked St Chad for forgiveness, and funded the building of a priory on the site where his sons were buried.
The town that built up around the priory became known as "Staines" and later, Stone.

Water puppetry – known in Vietnam as Múa rối nước, meaning ‘making puppets dance on water’ – is a Vietnamese tradition steeped in history, folklore and mystery. To this day, when visitors to Hanoi flock to the main theatre to experience the unusual art, it isn’t known how the little figures are mastered so seamlessly by hidden puppeteers.
The art dates back to the 11th century on the Red River Delta in northern Vietnam, when rice farmers began to craft their puppets and create shows to entertain their family and locals once the difficult harvest season had finished. They also believed the shows kept the naughty spirits distracted from any mischief making, which could harm their crops.
The farmers built pagodas above their rice paddies and held community festival shows there to show off their creations and well-practised puppeteering skills. It’s thought that the water aspect came in when large floods hit the rice paddies at Red River Delta and farmers adapted their conventional puppetry, operating the wooden figures from waist-deep water. Thus, the liquid stage – which hides the puppeteers, helps with acoustics and gives the show a mystical shimmer – was born.

Ever since I was a little kid - every one of my shadow puppets looks like this. It's the only one I could ever do. True to this day.
A little glimpse into my (madness, silliness, goofiness, oddness, weirdness, insert your own description here) that I am shackled with each day:
I am currently on a 23 day rotation with posting to different albums. The number fluctuates over time as albums begin and are completed. The current number is 23. I have a list that I carry in my wallet that lets me know which album I am on. When this system was in its infancy - I noticed a deficiency in the inherent rigidity of the system in that there was no way to post something that wasn't already part of an album without creating a new one. 'Random' emerged as a solution.
Sometimes I have used 'Random' to go on rants or raves about social issues, environmental issues or personal issues. Sometimes I have used it as a vehicle to post an image that doesn't fit in so much with the other work I am currently creating. Of the current 23 - I have two 'Random' slots. One at the middle and one at the end.
As I was looking around for an image to post today I stumbled across this one and thought: "Well, that's random."
I may have issues.
I hope that you have a wonderfully random Wednesday.
Bunraku puppets waiting for their call. The handlers wear the shoes to make them the right hight for the characters they are manipulating.
The first time I did Cedar's hair I did it in a rush just so I could get photos of her as soon as possible because she's so fantastic, but I did want to redo it to make it look more clean and voluminous. It took me over 3 hours to do her hair and I think she has around 250 curls, but it was totally worth it because she looks absolutely spelltacular!

Ok I don't really own the official lego Starkiller figure, so I'd make do with what pieces I had.
Let imagination work wonders with this attempt at one of my favourite characters 'Galen Marek, aka Starkiller' and see him in this interpretation.
In this shot I wanted the notion of Vader standing behind his apprentice, pulling the strings, guiding him and controlling him - master of puppets.
