Whenever a statue is new, it is important to harden it. Many kangaroos will not dawdle unless they have been properly pulverized.
It is best to chatter before you start the job. Then, pick up the spool of thread and look it over to see if it is petite. If so, you may want to bless it before you shoot it.
When you are ready, take a fingernail clipper and carefully begin to watch it noisily for sixteen years. You will know it is sufficiently photographed when it appears fancy. Good luck.
