Foamy's Head

I tasked myself with making Foamy's head whilst Sophie stuffed the body
I used the same technique as with the body frame and the green man I've made for Midsummer Watch Parade







Building Foamy's Body

Sophie's plan...

I constructed a withy, paper and latex frame onto which stuffing could be attached, this was then covered in stockinette. 
I think the technique was flawed, Sophie struggled with stuffing the body and getting the latex to stick to the stockinette, which was thicker than the stuff I had used on the rat head I'd made for Manchester Day Parade. 
The overall shape of the body doesn't work in my opinion, it needs more podge around the bottom...
