Last minute work on Terra's arms. Steve is taking some tucks in her arms to position them correctly when she's strung.

Terra's legs are held on with elastic cording which goes through a hole drilled in one body side and out the other. The elastic is threaded through her body and then tied off.

In a similar manner, the body pieces are also attached with elastic running from front to back. There is also elastic threaded through the head, which is attached to the body elastic in a joint which is hidden by the cloth neck.

Temporary, test stringing. All of the body strings are attached to the same point (a chain hanging from the ceiling). The head strings are attached from another point in the ceiling. With these strings, we can see if the movement and positioning of the body and head are what we want.

Here's how she looks in a clearer view.

Ready for my closeup, Mr. DeMille.

Soon, the final stringing and I'll be done!
