Dragon puppets
I made these (partial) puppets about 12 years ago or so, but I stopped once I realized I had no idea how to proceed beyond the head.
They’ve been knocking around the house ever since, and occasionally the kids will bring ‘em out and ask about ‘em again.
Hand-bent copper (electrical) wire framework covered with newspaper, with Crayola Model Magic craft foam/clay for the finish. Painted with acrylic paints (well, at least the one on the left was). The time/durability testing shows that Model Magic probably wasn’t the best choice, given all the nicks and cracks and chunks missing.
