Puppets In the making

How to make page. Or: how I make things, (we all develope our own way of doing things and this is mine!) This is for a Punch and Judy pair of hand made puppets. "That's the way to do it!"

First I make the model in clay. .
Then I make a cast in RTV silicone with plaster mother mould. Fill with paper pulp and leave to dry.
