Next on the puppet making agenda was bulking out the legs. I cut up some foam I got from washing up sponges and and wrapped it round the joints, gluing it in place with craft spray mount. I then added more foam to the legs to shape them into the tapered look of my character design. I also put foam around the hands to create the mittens.
Next I put silicone around the feet to create the boots. The silicone was quite hard to sculpt as it's difficult to smooth. Silicone is cool stuff, it dries like rubber, so you can still bend all the joints even with the silicone around them. I hung it out to cure on a wire across my window.
