Hi, everybody, Convincing John, here.
I've got a puppet-related question. Um, I'm planning to build a puppet sometime in the next year or so (combined with other projects) and I was toying with the idea of an eye mechanism.
It's going to be a human puppet, (simple hand and rod) and I'm using just some simple materials. What I was thinking for an eye mechanism was along the lines of Beauregard. I'd like the eyes to close and squint. The head is going to be rather small, like maybe 1/2 of Guy Smiley's head, and about the same shape.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could use? Levers? A string, maybe? A combination?
