Experimental Puppet Hand

[Sidebottom]

Puppet complete!

I'm bringing this topic back, because the puppet with the working hand is finally finished!

Here he is:

His name is Moss. Let me know what you think!

Cool puppet

Great, I loved that!

That's awesome, Sidebottom. Does the cardboard hold the shape all on its own? It looked almost springy when you let go of the wire; that hand just seemed to pop back open.

Really nice puppet.

Wow! That is awesome! How do you make that kind of arm? I agree with a tutorial on how to make it! Thanks!

Cool! A tutorial would be great!

Hey mrhogg, my guess is there are rubber bands attached down the top of the fingers to act like a spring.

Awesome stuff Sidebottom!

That's genius, bezalel! I made a hand based on sidebottom's video, and my only real problem was the lack of springiness. I think an elastic band would fix it up.

Still, a tutorial would be great to have.
