In December, I bought two chef figurines at a dollar store. The first one was a crude representation of a human figure. I made a clay interpretation and it became The Red Chef. The other one is a little more detailed, but it was missing its right hand.

The White Chef was more challenging to sculpt, but I'm happy with how it came out. It has a lot of small pieces attached and its chances for survival are not ideal.
I spent some time trying to decide what to do with the missing right hand in my interpretation. Someone suggested a skull. I considered a platter with an octopoid monstrosity on it. I also considered a hook. I ended up with a hand puppet resembling a miniature version of the chef.
