This is the beginning of the design process for my Chistery the Flying Monkey Puppet's hands, as you can see, movement is the key feature of this aspect and I did spend a lot of time experimenting with techniques and mechanisms to achieve the final outcome which are the darker versions also shown (these were the ones then attached to the rest of the puppet and gave it a realistic sense, but still following inspiration from Handspring Puppet Company and exposing the workings of the element.
