The PVC frame work that was built in the beginning will now need to be completed.   That entails protecting the moving parts and giving the frame a more human shape.

Things to note in this picture are the aluminum guards that are protecting the moving mechanisms from getting caught in the out clothing, the chicken wire  used to create the final body shape, and the powered computer speakers mounted on the shoulder cross-section.  All the wiring was taped(red) to the PVC frame neatly to avoid any snagging, the wiring includes the power and audio cords going to the witch's head and the power and audio going to the PC speakers.  The speaker from the dougie was put into an inner seam of the hat to help create effect that the audio was coming from the mouth of the witch.  The points of the cut chicken wire are quite sharp and can easily puncture the skin so although not shown in this pic, they were bent inward to avoid snagging the outer clothing or cause any blood loss.

The next picture shows where bubble-wrap was used to build up the shoulders and upper arm to make them more proportional.  An added effect of the bubble-wrap is that when her arms are moving, the bubble wrap make a fire crackling noise.  This probably won't be noticed on Halloween due to all the other things going on around it.

This also marks the beginning of sewing the clothes, while it is true that I'm no Betsy Ross, I manage to sew some tubes together to create clothes for a prop(They don't complain so...).  This was 1st attempted at sewing when building the 18' Jack Skellington two years ago and I've picked up a few tricks since then to make it less frustrating.  I started by making a few tight fitting under-sleeves so that if someone was to see up the arm of the more drooping outer-sleeve, the would just see more cloth.

 You also get a better view of the speakers mounted on the shoulders.  I mounted them by removing the cover and screwing the back plastic case and into the PVC framework and putting the covers back on.
