everything starts as an idea and a lump of clay to be molded.

in trying to create my own world, i've read lots of blogs and tutorials and forums and all the rules for making armatures and attaching the pieces. i've even written my own set of rules. well rules are stupid. if you glue the armature with epoxy (also called glue), you cannot bake clay once you've attached it to the wire frame. so that makes like difficult when building shoes.

i don't really give a darn because i generally learn by making mistakes (thank goodness i have no children from those mistakes!) ;)

i'm not giving away my storyline for this thing, but yes, this character is wearing a blue gown (dress)(thing) and yes, he seems to only have one finger on his left hand. trivial matters.

just believe me when i say "i know what i'm doing" and let my puppets be the proof. frankly, i am tired of reading other people's words about how to create these puppets. they don't know what they're talking about!!
