The Making of a Driftwwod Skeleton Puppet

CLICK HERE: To See My, SKELETON PUPPET TAP DANCE
I made him for this show! Opening Oct.25 Click Here to get more info on Facebook 

I layed out various pieces of driftwood. Then made piles for ribs, fingers, legs arms etc.



Being Careful to match the sticks in diameter.  There is no set formula when working with found objects, you have to adjust and be flexible to what you have on hand.



I either doweled in, or drilled and wired the pieces together



No self respecting Skeleton would be caught dead with out a cigar and top hat.
His head was carved from an old piece of wood, seen in my previous post....

 Hand

The Foot bone connected to the....
