Mathieu, my bookworm is not anywhere as cool as anything you make. It's 
essentially a tube made out of half inch polyfoam. Then about every four 
inches, I tied fishing line around it to make it look it's made from round 
sections, like a caterpillar. At the moment it's filled with packing 
peanuts, but when I'm done painting it with latex, I'm hoping it'll hold 
it's shape. At the moment it's metallic green, but I'm going to sponge paint 
on blue-green and blue spots later.

My wife tells me it needs arms, so I'm going to make them out of inch thick 
polyfoam, round off the edges and cover them in latex. The arms will be in 
sections, like a marionette, to make them really flexible. I'll just have 
rods to work them.

I'm just happy to be making something. It's been a really long time since I 
built one of my own puppets.
