Hey Guys....I need some help. I'm sure ya'll will think this a simple question, but I can't figure it out and can't find the answer posted here.
Basically, I am making a cloth puppet, my very first, and I have a specific idea of what I want. I want his mouth to be firm, but also to be pliable so that if I pull my hand in I can make a scrunched up face. I think a good example of this would be waldorf from the muppet show...he could make his face scrunched up, but also had a defined mouth...I don't think it was made out of cloth, in any case. Hmm..come to think of it, kermit, with his "sheesh face" is another perfect example of what I'm doing. SOOOOO What do I use for the mouth? I want it to last, so I don't want to use cardboard, and I want it to keep a fold as well, so that it will have a shape without a human hand in it....is it possible? The only thing I've though of so far which may or may not work is some kind of foam or sponge that is folded over, and then sewed along the seam to give it a straight folded edge and shape. Is this a good idea? Is this such a basic question that I'm the only one who doesn't know? Please help!! Thanks!!
