Question
Do you know anything about papier mache? If so, what should I make my armature out of? I've never used it before?

Answer
The size of the armature depends on your ultimate goal. If very small, a balloon or lightbulb will do. larger, use wadded up newspaper, or larger still, chicken wire. Let me know what you're thinking of doing, and I can help more specifically.
