Alright, Jeremy Telford here, on behalf of Expert Village and I'm going to go ahead and show you the second half of making the monkey. We've already made the head and one of the arms so we're going to make the other arm and the tail and then finish off, with the legs. We start by making a bubble and tying it off there. This will end up being a hand so do a full twist, which twists into itself. You're going to go up, make a one inch bubble, make a bear ear there. It'll actually be twisted right into the head area. Now make another "bear ear," and this will stabilize the head, so that it doesn't move around too much. Then we have, both the arms and the head but we still need the legs. We're going to go ahead and use a slightly darker brown, for the legs. Make an inch and a half bubble, a "bear ear" twist, inch and a half bubble "bear ear" twist, inch and a half bubble, "bear ear" twist and that's actually a leg there. It's going to be twisted in about two inches down, on the body and it gets twisted up, under the back bear ear, come around, and twist it back down, into that "bear ear" on the backside. This light brown is going to be the tail. It gets twisted up, until it comes out of the back and we're just going to make this leg over again so, inch and a half and then we make a bear ear, an inch and a half, make a bear ear and we go ahead and do a pinch and break and you fold the tail. Pinch twist, make a curve and there we have a monkey.
