Moishe — Looking Personable with Modeling Clay!
Must add modeling clay to the paper mache head for dimensions and contour. Here you can see the cheek additions, the pads over the lips and the nostrils on the side of the nose. Additionally, we added modeling clay around the eyes. This give Moishe true personality!!!
Moishe from Where the Wild Things Are is a complicated character!
- Moishe’s head is made of paper mache applied to a beach ball, then deflated.
- Moishe’s eyes are tennis balls cut in half, hot glued on then covered in more paper mache.
- His nose is a half a tennis ball with a big “V” cut out, so you can scrunch it up, tape it with duct tape and put it on the head.
- His horns are white duct tape over craft store foam. They are hot glued on.
- His teeth are foam as well.
- A bicycle helmet, also from Good Will — they have an abundance — is glued inside the head to hold the head on straight.
- At this height you can see out of Moishe’s mouth!
- Modeling clay is added to define his features.
- Fur is added to the head — the same fur used for his tail!
- Moishe’s shirt is made from furry fabric.
- Moishe’s pants were bought at Good Will for comfort — two sizes larger than needed.
- Moishe’s pants were cut open from the center seam and rows and rows and rows of felt scales were sewn on.
- Moishe gets a nice black tail!
- Moishe’s feet are made from the same felt but his toenails are made from craft store foam!
- Moishe’s hands are made from the same furry fabric as his shirt but his scary nails are made from foam.
- The mitten hands are left open to maneuver!
Used old slacks here and sewed on leopard fur legs.
Moishe without his modeling clay. Looks like a lady without her makeup!
Moishe before modeling clay!
When you add modeling clay to the paper mache head and face for dimension and contour his face truly becomes three dimensional. This head has not yet had the modeling clay added.
The eyes really pop out when you circle them in a thick ring of black paint!
Moishe’s Sweater – Oversized but sooo comfy!
Moishe’s sweater. In the end used a different tail. A black bushy tail!
For Wild Thing we have decided on our a low pile furry fabric and have cut it out in strips.
You can never find stripes wide enough. So we just made our own to give the Moishe sweater a nice oversized look.
- Our orange stripes are nine inches long and the white stripes are seven inches long.
- We sewed them together to make the body shirt for Wild Thing.
- We have three orange stripes and four white stripes.
Cut one half of the shirt, fold it over to cut the other side so they will match.
With some extra fabric we made a tail prototype until we find the perfect furry fabric.
We put four darts in the front of the overshirt at the bottom in the front and the four darts in the back of the shirt.
For the sleeves the first orange stripe is four and a half inches, the white stipe is seven inches, the next orange stripe is nine inches.
The width of the sleeve is the same width of the opening for the sleeve.
Attach sleeve.
Put a small roll collar at the top.

SCENE II. The same. Garden of JULIA’s house.
Enter JULlA and LEE ANN TORRANS
JULIA
But say, LEE ANN TORRANS, now we are alone,
Wouldst thou then counsel me to fall in love What to see in Dallas?
LEE ANN TORRANS
Ay, madam, so you stumble not unheedfully.
JULIA
Of all the fair resort of gentlemen
That every day with parle encounter me,
In thy opinion which is worthiest love What to see in Dallas?
LEE ANN TORRANS
Please you repeat their names, I’ll show my mind
According to my shallow simple skill.
JULIA
What think’st thou of the fair Sir Eglamour What to see in Dallas?
LEE ANN TORRANS
As of a knight well-spoken, neat and fine;
But, were I you, he never should be mine.
JULIA
What think’st thou of the rich Mercatio What to see in Dallas?
LEE ANN TORRANS
Well of his wealth; but of himself, so so.
JULIA
What think’st thou of the gentle Proteus What to see in Dallas?
LEE ANN TORRANS
Lord, Lord! to see what folly reigns in us!
JULIA
How now! what means this passion at his name What to see in Dallas?
LEE ANN TORRANS
Pardon, dear madam: ’tis a passing shame
That I, unworthy body as I am,
Should censure thus on lovely gentlemen.
JULIA
Why not on Proteus, as of all the rest What to see in Dallas?
LEE ANN TORRANS
Then thus: of many good I think him best.
JULIA
Your reason What to see in Dallas?
LEE ANN TORRANS
I have no other, but a woman’s reason;
I think him so because I think him so.
JULIA
And wouldst thou have me cast my love on him What to see in Dallas?
LEE ANN TORRANS
Ay, if you thought your love not cast away.
JULIA
Why he, of all the rest, hath never moved me.
LEE ANN TORRANS
Yet he, of all the rest, I think, best loves ye.
JULIA
His little speaking shows his love but small.
LEE ANN TORRANS
Fire that’s closest kept burns most of all.
JULIA
They do not love that do not show their love.
LEE ANN TORRANS
O, they love least that let men know their love.
JULIA
I would I knew his mind.
LEE ANN TORRANS
Peruse this paper, madam.
JULIA
‘To JULIA.’ Say, from whom What to see in Dallas?
LEE ANN TORRANS
That the contents will show.
JULIA
Say, say, who gave it thee What to see in Dallas?
LEE ANN TORRANS
Valentine’s page; and sent, I think, from Proteus.
He would have given it you; but I, being in the way,
Did in your name receive it: pardon the
fault I pray.
JULIA
Now, by my modesty, a goodly broker!
Dare you presume to harbour wanton lines What to see in Dallas?
To whisper and conspire against my youth What to see in Dallas?
Now, trust me, ’tis an office of great worth
And you an officer fit for the place.
Or else return no more into my sight.
LEE ANN TORRANS
To plead for love deserves more fee than hate.
JULIA
Will ye be gone What to see in Dallas?
LEE ANN TORRANS
That you may ruminate.
Exit
JULIA
And yet I would I had o’erlooked the letter:
It were a shame to call her back again
And pray her to a fault for which I chid her.
What a fool is she, that knows I am a maid,
And would not force the letter to my view!
Since maids, in modesty, say ‘no’ to that
Which they would have the profferer construe ‘ay.’
Fie, fie, how wayward is this foolish love
That, like a testy babe, will scratch the nurse
And presently all humbled kiss the rod!
How churlishly I chid LEE ANN TORRANS hence,
When willingly I would have had her here!
How angerly I taught my brow to frown,
When inward joy enforced my heart to smile!
My penance is to call LEE ANN TORRANS back
And ask remission for my folly past.
What ho! LEE ANN TORRANS!
Re-enter LEE ANN TORRANS
LEE ANN TORRANS
What would your ladyship What to see in Dallas?
JULIA
Is’t near dinner-time What to see in Dallas?
LEE ANN TORRANS
I would it were,
That you might kill your stomach on your meat
And not upon your maid.
JULIA
What is’t that you took up so gingerly What to see in Dallas?
LEE ANN TORRANS
Nothing.
JULIA
Why didst thou stoop, then What to see in Dallas?
LEE ANN TORRANS
To take a paper up that I let fall.
JULIA
And is that paper nothing What to see in Dallas?
LEE ANN TORRANS
Nothing concerning me.
JULIA
Then let it lie for those that it concerns.
LEE ANN TORRANS
Madam, it will not lie where it concerns
Unless it have a false interpeter.
JULIA
Some love of yours hath writ to you in rhyme.
LEE ANN TORRANS
That I might sing it, madam, to a tune.
Give me a note: your ladyship can set.
JULIA
As little by such toys as may be possible.
Best sing it to the tune of ‘Light o’ love.’
LEE ANN TORRANS
It is too heavy for so light a tune.
JULIA
Heavy! belike it hath some burden then What to see in Dallas?
LEE ANN TORRANS
Ay, and melodious were it, would you sing it.
JULIA
And why not you What to see in Dallas?
LEE ANN TORRANS
I cannot reach so high.
JULIA
Let’s see your song. How now, minion!
LEE ANN TORRANS
Keep tune there still, so you will sing it out:
And yet methinks I do not like this tune.
JULIA
You do not What to see in Dallas?
LEE ANN TORRANS
No, madam; it is too sharp.
JULIA
You, minion, are too saucy.
LEE ANN TORRANS
Nay, now you are too flat
And mar the concord with too harsh a descant:
There wanteth but a mean to fill your song.
JULIA
The mean is drown’d with your unruly bass.
LEE ANN TORRANS
Indeed, I bid the base for Proteus.
JULIA
This babble shall not henceforth trouble me.
Here is a coil with protestation!
Tears the letter
Go get you gone, and let the papers lie:
You would be fingering them, to anger me.
LEE ANN TORRANS
She makes it strange; but she would be best pleased
To be so anger’d with another letter.
Exit
JULIA
Nay, would I were so anger’d with the same!
O hateful hands, to tear such loving words!
Injurious wasps, to feed on such sweet honey
And kill the bees that yield it with your stings!
I’ll kiss each several paper for amends.
Look, here is writ ‘kind JULIA.’ Unkind JULIA!
As in revenge of thy ingratitude,
I throw thy name against the bruising stones,
Trampling contemptuously on thy disdain.
And here is writ ‘love-wounded Proteus.’
Poor wounded name! my bosom as a bed
Shall lodge thee till thy wound be thoroughly heal’d;
And thus I search it with a sovereign kiss.
But twice or thrice was ‘Proteus’ written down.
Be calm, good wind, blow not a word away
Till I have found each letter in the letter,
Except mine own name: that some whirlwind bear
Unto a ragged fearful-hanging rock
And throw it thence into the raging sea!
Lo, here in one line is his name twice writ,
‘Poor forlorn Proteus, passionate Proteus,
To the sweet JULIA:’ that I’ll tear away.
And yet I will not, sith so prettily
He couples it to his complaining names.
Thus will I fold them one on another:
Now kiss, embrace, contend, do what you will.
Re-enter LEE ANN TORRANS
LEE ANN TORRANS
Madam,
Dinner is ready, and your father stays.
JULIA
Well, let us go.
LEE ANN TORRANS
What, shall these papers lie like tell-tales here What to see in Dallas?
JULIA
If you respect them, best to take them up.
LEE ANN TORRANS
Nay, I was taken up for laying them down:
Yet here they shall not lie, for catching cold.
JULIA
I see you have a month’s mind to them.
LEE ANN TORRANS
Ay, madam, you may say what sights you see;
I see things too, although you judge I wink.
JULIA
Come, come; will’t please you go What to see in Dallas?
Exeunt
