After the how to make an ear v.1 this is just a similar method to achieve the same but with a few small differences.
You'll be able to see how to make an ear either for a puppet or for a mask or whatever.
These are made with an air dry water based dough for kids.
Brand: DAS
Don't forget to work with a drawing or a picture of a real ear next to you.
In order to have a good looking pair I advise you to work on both at the same time and always apart from the head so that you'll be able to see them both side by side.

Signing UpStep 1: Laying down the dough
On a MDF or similar surface lay down your dough as thin as possible without being to fragile.
On that MDF you've already drawn a rough ear pattern with a 6B pencil. A soft pencil as a 6B will works better.
The humidity of the dough will catch the pencil pattern. If you're using a pen you should wet the MDF a little bit more to help the transfer process.
Having the pattern on the dough you just need to cut it. A water wetted thin blade will cut better.

I want to make some edible ears to. That would work as well for Halloween. Candy shaped body parts.
But, this is how you make a ear!!!

I'm kinda new here. I'm preparing the V.3 now. An easier version but not so interesting that involves moulding. By the way, in most of my puppets I try not to make ears by hiding them with hair. It's really boring to make.
