Georgian marionette copy

Sometime in the 80's I was staying with Angelela Beasley while touring in Savannah. Also staying with her was a troupe of Soviet Georgian Marionettists who were here in their sister city performing. At night we sketched each others' puppets. "Botchie" was the nickname of the Puppet builder designed the adapted vertical marionette control. I copied his ballerina, but it doesn't work anywhere as well as Botchies' original. Angela did buy a figure which was amazing, but his performance, with two other marionettists, from Molier, featured a ballerina piroetting across a tiny stage in front of a blowing curtain. It was hypnotizing.
