Below is the link to my short tutorial on how to make a latex skin for your puppet using a clay sculpt, a plaster mold, and some brush on latex. Enjoy

Nice puppet so far. For being involved in stop motion for just a year your backgrounds are already expert.

Where do you buy liquid latex? I have looked around, but I do not really know what I am searching for. Is it sold at an arts and crafts store like Michaels or A.C. Moore? If so, what is it called, how is it packaged, and what section is it in? Are there other sources, besides the Internet? Any help would be appreciated.
