Larry started out as a stack of styrofoam glued together with liquid nails.

When I achieved the shape I wanted I glued on pieces of short napped furry fabric.

I cut his teeth out of luaun and glued each one in individually.






I carved the crucifix out of gray foam.  It was then coated with a layer if glue, then painted with acrylic paint.  It is attached with hot glue to the old broom handle I found and painted gold.  It was used in the Play Fifth Sun.
