Puppet Making Puggy

 

Initial Design

Wire Armature with Milliput bones and plastic joints

This was my first ever wire armature puppet, so I learnt a lot from this process. I didn’t leave enough room between the bones for flexibility. But I have developed on this now.

Process

Wrapped with light weight foam and tape using KNS and wire for hands.
