Alex had some free time today and decided to help with some work on the zebras. As I was working on the elephant's head attaching tusks and fabrics, I was overseeing and trouble shooting on them. She attached the fabric drape with hot glue, then also glued on a paper rope base for the mane to sit on.

and ensure the mane was central. |
After some trial and error Alex found the easiest way to attach the mane was to cut off a section of paper rope, unravel it, then fold in half over the rope base, using hot glue to secure it centrally. Then it will be painted by dry brushing and sponging with acrylics.
