prop cow for Spamalot

[brighidreppert]

My theater is producing Spamalot opening next month and I need a light weight full to 3/4 size cow that must be thrown and land on an actor. We do not have a full scene and prop shop and it must be done on the cheap....any ideas? Rentals would be best if cost effective and looks right.

We had someone sew a cow out of lightweight (store bought sheets?) and stuff it with batting. Painted on a pattern of Guernsey type and it worked fine. Looked good.

I used two pillows as a base and used scrap fabric so it just cost me already in stock materials.

Oh yeah, and some batting.
