I’ve made two more characters: the dog and the little kid.  I had to get skinnier wooden dowels and wire for them since the ones I used for the grandpa are a little too big to look right.  I am going to bake them tonight and paint them over the weekend.  At the moment I am having a difficult time coming up with sketches for the mom and dad characters.  I want them to not look so generic, but at the moment that’s what all the sketches look like.  I’ll have to figure out some kind of characteristic to make them stand out.  As far as the containers go I’m thinking of having a window to the faces of the characters in the coffins.  The dog’s is going to have to lie down sideways, though, because of his body shape.
