Tommy, a Rod Puppet

"Tommy" is a three foot tall puppet. His hands are controlled by rods and his legs and feet are connected to a rotating mechanism that allows him to walk. The structure of the puppet is made mainly of repurposed household items, including wire coat hangers and the gooseneck from a lamp.
