<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">I don't know of a commercial source... but a popular workshop (by Dennis Quon, I think...) at CCI is/was using construction insulation foam to make your own costumes and sculptures. It's the stuff that comes in an aerosol can.... Put a t-shirt on a dressform, and "squirt" on the foam where wanted; when dry, you can carve it, if needed, then cover with some sort of stretchy type fabric for the costume itself.</FONT></DIV>
