I was inspired by @mothmaeda 's Kinger(s) and really wanted to make myself a Kinger who could sit on my shoulder for renaissance faires and conventions! WIPs below!
I marked carefully where the wire for his hands would poke out & had to move the right hand's wire placement to achieve the floating effect. The vintage fur coat was too luxurious so I ordered short pile trim & added black spots with a fabric marker. I'm so happy w how he looks!

I thought patterning his clothes would be the easy part since I've made puppet outfits. Nope! I thought I could drape fabric around his body & mark as I went, but since he's sitting I actually had to use the plastic wrap and masking tape method. The final piece is made of 4 parts
He got quilt batting to give him some body and his eyes got attached and painted. I accidentally placed them too wide but was able to fix it with clever gluing. Also his right arm got cut off once I understood how I would have to attach his hands.
He got magnets glued to his bottom & a paint job. Painting took a few days (acrylic). I assumed I'd paint a very generic blue butterfly, but seeing his desk & the fact a blue morpho's under wings look not unlike abstraction I knew despite my shaky hands it had to be a blue morpho
I gave him arms, a bottom, and feet. The "foot" is made from more foam clay and the thin cylinder is craft foam. He got a good spray with plastic dip to prep for painting.

A group of US women kicked out a Nazi, while a group of US men stood around doing nothing.
People around the world are noticing that it is women who are leading the fight against fascists in the US. Whether it is Nazis or ICE.
