Claw

Materials:  claw fingers

I got the individual claw fingers in Toronto at an Asian flea market. They're thin and cheap metal, easily bent, but they've got really beautiful designs on them. I drove small holes into them and used buttonhole thread to sew them securely to a stretchy black glove, then put studs in for the knuckles. The grommetted leather cuff is actually a separate piece that I also made; it finishes the glove nicely.
