and Awesome Possum
The paper mache figures have been much more work than I anticipated - fun, learning process, but a lot of work. They were all glazed several times, and sanded between glazes, with a home-made gesso consisting of plaster of Paris, white glue, water and vinegar. And now they have had a base- coat glaze with a heavy-body acrylic thinned with water. Next, the real painting begins. Here's hoping they look better when finished!!!

Oh I love these paper machè figures , all really great, but my love goes to froggie :-)) And cats are just mysterious creatures, I always close the lid to the toilet :-)) xx
ReplyDeleteMy cat, Romeo, has fresh and clean water all the time as well and he is fascinated by the toilet. As such I have to keep the lid down at all times. I think they like the idea of the running water when it flushes. :)
ReplyDeleteYour paper mache cache of animals is beginning to come to life - very exciting! About the cat - I have no idea!

ReplyDeleteMy cat does not have access to the toilet, but he likes to drink goldfish water in the pond (for the moment the fishes survive)
LOVE the kitty, Kathryn...and of course, I favor the froggie!!
