First came the family of "Wizards", when I lived in Barcelona and started working with raffia, cardboard and plaster. They are the Birds of Terpsichore's grandparents, uncles and aunts.
In this section I am also showing Wolfie and Pablina's early childhood.

Victor was the first of the Birds of Terpsichore. He is here with another character who gave me the idea of the rectangular faces.
A Bird Wizard made of cardboard and kraft paper, with his head and arms attached to the head of a fan,
so he can move the upper part of his body.

Petite Fleur, Wolfie and Pablina's daughter, was born on October 2022.
On my shows, I have found that a lot of children are eager to animate the puppets,
but Victor, Wolfie and Pablina are too tall.
With Petite Fleur, whose control and strings are smaller,
they can understand better and enjoy the process.
