Here Kyra's new body and tail are ready to be finished. Way back when, during a house move, we left some stuff outside our door at about 5 am to grab some sleep before movers arrived. When I woke up, the giant Ultracal cement mold for the large mermaid puppet torso had been taken. I know it was stupid to have left anything out in our downtown building but I really thought a 30-pound cement mold would mean nothing to anyone else. Lesson learned. The mold was made from my 1993 original clay sculpt (seen in photo at bottom). I still had the large molds for her head, arms, and tail, but the torso was gone for good. I finished the puppet head fully a few years ago but Resupping is actually working (!) and I have now completed her entire body, including re-creating her torso, this time in a build-up style. I didn't have the gumption to re-sculpt, re-mold, and re-cast what was lost but I'm very happy to have taken a new route to getting this puppet finally done, 30 years later.
