    Mascot/furry costume creator here! I recommend finding a way to seal the raw foam and lining the head hole. Raw upholstery foam yellows and deteriorates over time when in contact with moisture (it also molds very easily, and I don't think we want any real spores on your head lol). I recommend using neoprene or lycra for the head hole, and for sealing the foam itself you can actually use plastidip as you would for EVA foam. Then it would keep those accidentally mushroom ridges you got during the carving progress. It looks incredible I have never thought of using upholstery foam like this!

      LSD and mushrooms completely changed my whole outlook on life. I became a better version of myself
      This experience gave me a lot of confidence about my self and my body. A bunch of bad thought / behavior patterns were broken. One of these was pretty bad OCD that made me wash my hands a lot. It gave me a lot of hope that things will be fine, this is the one thing that I heard throughout the trip: Everything is alright. The main reason for the trip was my severe depression and it definitely helped me (although it's not gone). Before all I could do was lay in bed. Now I am trying to rebuild my life one step at a time which wasn't possible before."

    note on the smoothing process of the paper mache clay: as Jonni also notes in her videos, the easiest way to get a smooth surface is to not sand it, but wait till it's dry and then put on a thin, second layer of just the dry wall joint compound over it! it will fill all little bumps and unevenness without any effort at all and leave a super smooth surface ^^ i've tried it out myself and it works like a charm!

    hey, i looked around and didnt see anyone comment this so i might as well.
    For anyone that wants to pick mushrooms like rachel, make sure you have a pocket knife or some siccors with you, and cut the stem at the base, even if its easy allways try to not rip it out with the little "roots" like shown in the video. These roots grow new mushrooms. If done correctly the same type of mushroom will grow over and over every year on the same spot you gathered them from.
    (if ripped, you can slowly erradicate all the mushrooms from growing in these places, because they cant properly spread)
    Source: Grandparents that live in the forest, and that pick mushrooms for eating every autum witha set route with all the places they grow on. Also seen on some norwegian documentaries.
    Its quite painfull to see the mushrooms being ripped out :"(
