Getting around to photographing my self portrait doll, plus Jumping Tlaloc who has been hanging idly upon my studio wall. Poor fellow is itching for some action.

i love the leg pieces you make 😛 these are great, the mask is fantastic. is the string set up to move the pieces??
Yes , the string makes them jump
that’s given in the title, isn’t it? silly me–i just can’t imagine how you managed it 😛
Zoe, shoot me an email at neobaroque@mac.com and I will send you the directions. I’m happy you like it.
These figures are just so splendid, full of life, even without pulling their strings, and so unmistakably yours, Leonard. Coming back from that rather bruising crit o make such confident and emphatic pieces is a wonderful achievement 😊
Thank you brother.
