Francis: Wireframe articulated puppet

This is a puppet I made a couple years back. The project was to count the number of degrees of freedom of the human hand and relate that number to the degrees of freedom of the human body. If you count the number of joints you have in your body, and then count the number of articulations in your hand, they are similar (within 2-3 degrees of freedom). This puppet has moving elbows, shoulders, mouth and articulated fingers and a clock part for a heart. It eventually will have more articulations as time goes on.
