Playing with ideas for marionettes yesterday during a "webcam jam" session.  Wanted to see if simple designs could be turned into a marionette style balloon.  This one worked pretty well.  
Another twister came up with a very cool roadrunner.  (no pic for that one, sorry).

thanks all,

Here is a dinosaur design I was playing with this morning.  This one's arms, legs, and head moves.
