GIVING MYSELF A HAND... OR TWO

Finally found a spare few hours to get back to the puppet fabrication. Today I tackled the hands. Below you can see I glued some florist's wire onto the one side of a hand. This way I can pose them. The tubing wrapped in the wire is the housing for the rods that will work the arms and hands. The rods will be removable so that if I don't need them in a scene I can just take 'em out.



I sandwiched the two halves together and glued.


Once that dried I pinched and glued the edges together as in the hand on the right to give them a more tapered look.



Finally, the finished pair of hands.


Next they will be covered in the same fleece material that will cover the head.

Until next time,
Chris
