So here is the deal...I just got back from a big craft store run to prepare for my upcoming puppet (woooohooooo!!!), but I ran into a problem...The thinnest polyfoam that Michael's, Hobby Lobby, and Walmart offered was one inch thick....Question One:  Is this going to be way too thick and if so where can I order some 1/2 inch polyfoam

Also....I was looking through the fabric dyes, (to dye my antron fleece) and all the colors i needed were not available.  I can get them on-line so no problem, but I'm not sure which color will give me the best skin tone.  Question Two:  What color gives the best Caucasian skin color?

Always at ur humble mercies,

A couple of options for foam.  Joann Fabrics.  the one in my area usually has 1/2 inch foam.  It's green but preety good quality.  You can also look for an uphosterer supply company.  They usually have a wide variety of foams and thicknesses.
 Hope that helps.
