    Monkey Puppet

    A monkey hand puppet made from an old football inner, wood, fimo, latex and wire.
    The single arm had a grasping hand run by a thin nylon wire, it did not work very well.
    The eyes could also be moved in 2 dimentions but the mechanism has since broken.
    The mouth still works and the eyelids kind of move.
    The body is simply fur material

    It would have been around the time that the film came out. My wife really does not like it, gives her the creeps.
    I have seen a few monkey skull bowls and jelly molds recently, those are also not encourage.

    Fairly disturbing for me, too. Creative, though, to be sure.

    Ha. Not bad! Very creative. That head with the eyes moving would scare more than just kids.
