Making of Moppet:

- This puppet has a wire armature with epoxy bones and a hand-carved wooden chest/hip block. 

- The torso and legs were built up with foam, while the arms and neck were cast in silicone rubber (watch the video to see this moldmaking process!) 

- The head and face pieces were hand-sculpted, then cast in epoxy resin. Mouth shapes were sculpted with clay and then painted. 

- The wig was sculpted from acrylic felt, and the costume was sewn by hand. The boots were made from leather set with tiny grommets.
