Yuwen Lu / Kitsch Katch

On the rare occasion that I think of finger puppets, I'll never think of finger puppets the same way again. This piece by London's Yuwen Lu is designed so that the nervous motion of drumming one's fingers is manifested in the movements of the two attached figures. Brilliant. (I'm thinking that red cloud must rain down crimson nailpolish, because I don't know how else to explain that manicure.) There's tons to explore on this artist's site, so get goin'!

Above: her one-size-fits-all ring, meant to be squeezed on to fit.

Bonus link: if you've never been one to drum your fingers, you can still piano and saxaphone them with this musical jumble ring from Kitsch Katch (£14). Talk about jazz hands!
