As i had done some designs for the foot of the hare i then had a go at making them out of grey board to see if it work. The idea behind it was that the elastic bands would keep the foot in the middle and then when the puppet is move it would move the foot upward and then it would spring back into position. This didn't work as i had hoped as there was too much tension in the in the elastic so it didn't move as i intended and kept getting stuck as the space that was holding it in place was to thin. I think the design would be ok to use if i sorted out those issues, this design also works ok if you remove the elastic bands as gravity moves the foot ok and i have put stops in the space that the foot moves in so that it can't move to far.
