Untangling puppet strings

I make puppets, and I'm sure it has to do with the fact that my father was a
creative person. He didn't work as an artist, but he shared us his love for art, invention and adventure.

As children we all got puppets one Christmas. I was the who was always able to untangle the strings. The knots in the strings never stopped me, I just patiently traced the strings and threaded my way thru till the puppet hung right once again.

Today I enjoy figuring out how new kinds of puppets work. I make puppets for a group and have conducted puppetry workshops. This confidence and interest has provided a path in life that I love.

Now I wish to apply those same skills to computer graphics. I want to figure out how to get my work done with the same curiosity and patience I applied to puppets. Figuring things out for myself or troubleshooting is invaluable and will put me on a successful path, I hope.
