Default project mini Kamaka and maroionette

I am attempting to make a marionette based on Taimane Gardner's video Taimane Ukulele "Midnight Marionette" (A Theatrical Music Series by Taimane) - YouTube where she depicts her self as a marionette. I guess I will start with her ukulele http://i921.photobucket.com/albums/...at/fccb3d4d.jpghttp://i921.photobucket.com/albums/...at/ad5f73e7.jpg
