Skeleton problem may be solved

A-ha! This came to me on the train.

I have made a breakthrough in changing to a puppet with a full (if small) body with a separate sleeve attached horizontally.










This works by mounting the head on a rod (as a counter balance), and attachin the pivot to the costume inside the neck. This frees the two working fingers (thumb and forefinger) to move freely without being contrained by holding the rod
