Making your next puppet? Maybe you don’t know where to start - or maybe you know exactly where you want to start, and it’s not with making your armature from scratch! 
 
The Bare Bones Mega is a back-to-basics wire armature, with steel feet and brass tube wrists to allow the addition of hands (included). At 267mm*, this larger version of the Bare Bones gives you a larger canvas to bring your puppet design to life, so you can include all the extra details you need! Bare Bones Mega has thick, double-twisted 2mm wire to ensure your puppet retains each movement as you animate, and while no wire armature can last forever, this thick wire will take a LOT of repeated bending. 
 
Steel feet mean your Bare Bones Mega will stick to magnets on your animation table, and heat-resistant adhesive used in the puppet means you can even put it in the oven to bake polymer clay (only tested up to 150 degrees celcius). The hands are reinforced with mouldable plastic which will melt in contact with heat - if you require wire-only hands please message when placing your order.
 
*measurements may vary by 1-2mm due to the handmade nature of the item.
** Not recommended for use by small children or inside children's toys, due to potentially small parts/sharp edges should the wire break**
