Here's a quick illustration of one way to create wobble joints.
Anybody have a different method?
Baird'sBearsBeautiful diagram for aged eyes. Thanks!
Shelli, the method I learned from one of my books (can't remember which) suggested using a smaller disk in the body side than in the head side. This allows the head disk to wobble in a larger arc.

Winneybears and FriendsEileen, I was just going to say that but..... that is if you want the wobbliest joint ever, it can still be wobbly if you use the same size joints in the body and limb. I have not tried and compared both methods, just wanted to comment I have found both ways in books too.
Oh yes, and adding pellets for weight in the ends of the limbs increases the limbs will freely swing....Winney
Baird'sBearsI tried equal-sized disks first, but the head wouldn't wobble very well unless the joint was loose. I liked the unequal disks better, because I could use a really tight joint and hide the innards! :D
Great idea about weighting the limb-ends. Thanks!
