Wizard/Sorceress: armature

The sketch on the previous page should have given you some idea about the wire armature as well. Use the steps in the main course to create the wire armature, with one modification: leave some wire at the end of the left hand.

If you leave that bit of wire, you can shape it into a book. This way, you don't have to worry about having to glue the book to the finger later on.

When you're happy with your armature figure, put it in the position you want it in. Now comes a hard part: covering the wire with tinfoil. This isn't really hard, but because I assume your wizard's wearing a robe, you need to stuff up the tinfoil. Use crammed up tinfoil for this.
