Hi There,

I want to make a live hand puppet using Project Puppet's Rotondo pattern. (I just finished making my first puppet using the Pin Head pattern from the simple series.) Does anyone know if the Rotondo pattern would be in proper scale to convert into a live hand puppet? Are there any patterns out there for making the arms of a live hand puppet? I'm hoping to make something similar to Ernie.
Thanks!

The puppetproject's borsa pattern is a live hands pattern. just change out the head for the one your doing.

Cool, thanks Mike! Do you know if the Borsa pattern has arms like Ernie's where the sleeve the puppeteer puts their arm into is attached to the elbow of the puppet, and hangs below? The image below might help explain what I'm talking about.

Hi Muppet88,
I think that is the same. But it would not be that hard to change it if it is not.
