Chaos Reincarnated

Hi! This is foam rubber!

Squishy!

These are your tools: scissors, knife, big needle, fishing wire/other sturdy thread

Make shape of carapace, cut five pieces of foam for leggies. Make all five shape of leggies (boring)

Thread fishing line through needle and attach to carapace where the leg should go

Cut leggie in half, thread through needle to thread in carapace. Leggie can stay whole, but then your puppet has a bit less movement. My Things, Rocky and Prism puppets have all 5 movable limbs. Puppet Big(Small) Steppa has only two movable limbs, cause they're canonically a bit more stiff

Do the leggie thing four more times (boring).

Put a rod in each of the front legs. A glue gun may help with this.

HI I CRY?? theyre so smollll??? I wish i loved sewing more than i do, but i bet one of my followers will be absolutely DELIGHTED by discovering this!!

And was like, uh, are you missing something there, buddy? Like all that red in northern Africa? Because that's a lot of red.

And I was going to give them the benefit of doubt, since I don't know much about the climate in Northern Africa, aside from Morroco and Egypt, which seem like really hot places, so you know, maybe it's normal there?

But nope, that's not the case:

Some selections from the article:

"The region has been experiencing some of the most intense heat waves in recent years, but in many cases they’ve been under-reported due to misconceptions about Africans’ ability to withstand them.

“Africa is seen as a sunny and hot continent,” said Amadou Thierno Gaye, a research scientist and professor at Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar, the capital of Senegal. “People think we are used to heat, but we are having high temperatures for a longer duration. Nobody is used to this.”
