For this I used several pieces of gourds from my garden and
an empty spool of serger thread.
I went to the hardware store and found a product called 'Great Stuff'.
It is a foam insulation product and expands to three times it's size.
It is terribly messy.
Here is what two cans worth did.
"Great Stuff" really isn't meant to fill this large a cavity.
It dried on the outside faster than it did on the inside, causing some of the sticky, gooey product to be trapped inside.
The idea........
Drill a hole in the top of the body as a starter and stick a dowel rod all the way through.
Next, drill a hole in the leg frame.
Attach the two together with the dowel rod.
This gave enough stability to hold the two together until I could add more layers of papier mache'.
