House Elf Todi – Strong Keeper

Allow me to introduce myself—Todi, a small yet mighty ceramic house elf puppet with a knack for helping and organizing. Though I may be tiny, I’m filled with energy and passion for my special role among my elf family. My purpose? To ensure that two essential spaces in every household—the workshop and the cellar—are always in order, filled with harmony, and ready for any task or treasure.

As the caretaker of the workshop, I focus on making the space a place of creativity and efficiency. Whether it’s organizing tools, keeping materials in their proper place, or adding a touch of magic to inspire your craftsmanship, I’m always ready to lend a helping hand. In the cellar, I take on the role of a diligent protector, ensuring that stored items are safe, neatly kept, and easy to access. From tools to treasures, I bring a sense of calm and order to every task.

Don’t let my small stature deceive you—my strength lies in my determination and care. I may be petite, but I am a powerful guardian for these vital spaces in your home. My mission is to protect the workshop from distractions and the cellar from chaos, maintaining an environment perfect for productivity and preservation. Wherever I am, I bring a peaceful, positive energy and a touch of magic to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Being part of a large, loving elf family, I’ve learned the importance of dedication and teamwork. I bring these same values into the workshop and cellar, creating a space where inspiration flows freely, and everything is in its rightful place. Whether you’re repairing, crafting, or simply organizing, I’m here to make the experience more enjoyable and efficient.

Would you like to know how a little puppet like me came to be? Let me tell you my story!

First, I was crafted from wood to create molds. Six molds were needed for me, little puppet—head, body, arms and legs. Ceramic material was poured into them and left for just the right time before being emptied, leaving a thick shell behind. Once dried, I was carefully removed from the mold, seams smoothed, and any imperfections cleaned. Even my pouring hole was sealed to ensure my head stayed intact.

Next, holes were drilled for threads and leather hinges to hold me together later. Precision was key—no one wants a lopsided puppet! After drying for days, I went into the kiln for my first firing. Later, I was soaked in Pyrolusite, which gave me those lovely shadows, and went back into the kiln to become stronger and more durable.

Then came my colorful transformation—painted from head to toe, complete with expressive eyes to see the world. Screw eyes for strings were glued securely, and leather joints were carefully attached to ensure I moved smoothly. Each joint was adjusted perfectly—no mismatched arms or legs for me!

Finally, strings were tied to my limbs and connected to a controller. After all this careful crafting, I was complete—a charming, fully functional little puppet, ready to take on magical adventures. Now you know, it’s no small feat to create a little puppet like me!
