... and Now a Word from My Paper Mache Friends ...

Here's my Basset hound, with her ears attached.


I have her posing in front of the blue version of the tugboat painting for contrast.
As Pat prefers the green version of the tug work, I will be finishing this blue version soon, and offering it up for auction on my gallery page. Stay tuned ...

Horse, with hoofies attached ...

I have also finished with the paper mache part of the frog. He is sitting on a pile of newsprint that was part of his armature while I worked. Yes, I eviscerated him! ACK!!!

... hole cut out with exacto knife ...

... covering back in place.  The frog, owl and possum are ready for some gesso applications. Then I will paint them, and apply some sort of varnish to seal them. As I work with these structures, I am amazed at how very strong they are - probably at least as sturdy as clay work.

Thank you for visiting! Your comments are always welcome!

  4. Wow these are adorable! I always thought of paper mache as a childhood pursuit, but you have shown otherwise. Love their shapes, especially the basset hound.

    Btw, I thought I commented on your tug boat - but that was amazing painting there! Such a fog!
