Here are the painted hooves, they need to be shaved on the end in some places and another coat of paint needs to be added. The orange is the inner part of the leg where the yellow and green are the outer leg. I also have a fish bone spine I will be using for teeth and/or claws. They are very fragile and sharp I am quickly learning...ouchh!

My snake is coming alone it took me about 3 work sessions to finish it, it is completed now but missing its three heads and a tail.Which I am working on with my other materials collected. It is made out of wire coat hangers wrapped in aluminum foil to give it the coiled shape I wanted. Next I wrapped the shape with news paper to give it more of a thicker body to resemble the body of a lengthly boa constrictor. Once i used about a stack of news paper it was time to plaster! Plastering is something I have done for the first time this year and I enjoy working with it. I like the quick results and the pace you have to work. 

 
I am currently working on a marine insect with crab like features and bird heads to add onto of  the coiled boa. Next blog you will have a idea of what I'm working with.
