Third Fitting Ikenga - Addition of the head

Fitting Notes -
  1.  adding the head piece makes the puppet more top heavy, it is very clear that any fabrication to the willow frame will have to be very light and allow the wind the pass though. 
  2. The head piece also spins at the moment which should not be happening as this disturbs the balance of the whole piece.
  3. Wooden upright in the head piece needs added support as this is a weak point of the head piece the T joint at the top of the head could also use extra support as this holds most of the weight. 

  • Actor is still confident he will be able to perform in the costume with out weight being much of an issue.
