You can Get a Pattern for shirt for Huan Hand from Oneway street or puppet productions.

most puppets you can make Human hand by folding the arms and putting one of these shirts on the puppet thats the easy way.

Anyone have a link to the Rufus pattern? If not, I'll make one on puppetminister.com. It's not my design, so I hope I won't be upsetting anyone by posting the pics. Back soon...

*whew...* I'm back *wheeze*... It's not so much a pattern as much as it is a "this is how it's done". *cough*...Hope it helps.

That's a really nifty pattern. I've been thinking about making a live-hand puppet for a long time now, and that pattern will really help.

This is what i did:
trace your hand with pencil on a piece of poster board... go down halfway up your forearm... Now go a little bigger (i went around 1/2 in.)... then you have your pattern...
as far as shirts go(if your puppet is wearing one)... try and find a size that fits your arm in the same color of the shirt you want your puppet to wear... make your long sleeve short sleeve... That may help some:

it really doesn't show too much but here is a pic of one of my puppet's hands
a better view Here

if you are doing one like Rufus, that is the best way i can figure it... it's all about personal preference... "Does he/she wear a shirt or not???"

No idea other than a dragon (I think). I pulled that out of my archives of patterns and junk from the web. I don't even know who's intellectual property it is or I could give due credit.
