Steps for making wire armature:

Develop concept and sketch options
Make drawing to scale of front or side view
Cut wire a bit longer than you need
  (Use more thin wires for arms to separate for fingers)
Twist wire together
Join together at “joints” by threading wire   
  (Or using beads)
Cover joints with epoxy putty 
  (it hardens when you mix it together…
  The roll has two components inside each other)
