There is no grip. There is just the mouthplate below and fabric above your hand.

Here is Kermit with his body on.
It is made from fabric store cusion foam and wrapped with duct tape and stuffed with cotton batting to get the shape.
The Antron fleece is two peices stretched tight and hand sewn to the body.
The wires for the arms and leggs will allow for some possability.


He's getting there, slow but sure!! Between work and two little ones under 3 1/2 I don't have a lot of time to spend on him.
Enjoy,
Lynn
