Making a Jiji Puppet! (including a cursed fake arm, of course)

HARK! It hath been far too long since I've made a costume with a horrendously terrifying fake arm so... here you go!
I'm attending a convention soon and one of my favorite kinds of costumes to wear to a con is an "illusion" costume. One that gets people's head's a-scratchin'.
For the subject, I thought it would be cute to do a Kiki & Jiji costume. Onna-count-a my love for little guys.
So enjoy this chaotic journey with hopefully some cozy vibes.
LOVE Y'ALL!
