This is how the troll was looking last month - now he has been strung up to see how he moves and I have decided he needs a little more movement in his feet as walking is quite difficult with such short legs and big feet.

 

I will post some more recent photo's soon, and hopefully the short video of him in exploring the herb garden

 I have been a little sidetracked with the construcrion of my Dial O'crock, my first attempt at a hand puppet, and although I have continued work on my troll I didn't find time to update the blog

He was inspired by the dials he wears as a necklace, though may be a clock would have been more suitable.
The control mechanism is based on a pistol - I will add a short video when I learn how
