Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] technical question re giant puppet body part


We have had excellent results using Spring Steel boning coated
with Buckram.  We rivet pieces together using Jean rivets.
Gives a natural flesh bounce/sway so long as you don't over
cage it and then you cover with 1/4 in sheet foam and your
choice for finishing fabric.

We have a 12 foot whale that only weighs in just under 20
pounds.  and he's a real Goliath.

Best,

Liz
