Hey, it's been a while, but I'm still working on my Waccoon puppet. My first prototype was insightful, but flawed. It was too big, and the muzzle was impossible to manipulate. After watching a lot of tutorials on YouTube, I started working on prototype #2 with the mouth open by default, to be built out of 1/2" foam.

1) All great projects start with a bright idea!
2) Sculpey is like violence. If it doesn't solve your problem, use more of it.
3) The basic shape. I only have enough clay to make half the head, so I hope this works!
4) Dude finally has a mouth! This muzzle shape makes a lot more sense than the first cartoonish prototype.
5) Say aaaah. Say aaaah! NOW SPIT!
6) Oooooh... spoopy! The curse of the living Waccy!
