I'll use this picture as a desktop background for my notebook.

I made the rat handpuppet for my panel "Mechanical Effects for Puppets and Fursuits" at Eurofurence 17. The head of the puppet is build like one of my fursuit-heads. The mouth, eyelids, tongue and ears are moveable and can be controlled from inside the head. The eyes have LEDs in them that can be switched on by pressing a button inside the muzzle. The body is made of foam and hollow. The puppet can be played thru the back of the neck or the body. The arms and legs are build with flexible joints. The hands have a bendable steel wire in them.
