    We began this discussion about two months ago when I was beginning it with
    my middle school students. We used (make shift) bases from window shade
    rods, rebar, and chicken wire. Then we wrapped them with plaster and also
    dressed them in real clothes dipped in plaster. One is free standing,
    another is in a chair, and 4 more never made it out of the second week of
    making them. (You know- there's a point when the kids just give up and it's
    a waste of supplies to push it much further. Gee, that sounds bad). Very
    time consuming and tiring project but the kids loved it and the school staff
    won't stop talking about them.

    I'm posting photos of our work at my site-
