After the last baking, our poor mules ears were starting to look pretty crispy, so I've wrapped them in aluminum foil to hopefully protect them from further blackening. Louisiana is known for how great the blackened fish is, but mules...maybe not so much. The rest of the foil is supporting some delicate bits so that they don't sag in the oven.
The one hame that is actually visible on this piece is supported internally by a straightened paper clip and the texture on that fleece pad you see peeking out from under the color was created with the end of a broken stick. Honestly, I do use real sculpting tools too. I swear. Sometimes the best way to get the job done involves getting a little creative and it seems to be happening that way a lot on this guy.
I think that all of the various straps and buckles are in place now. All that remains is the part we've all been waiting for... flowers!
