FINALLY ... THE ALOST-COMPLETE SAGA OF THE PAPER MACHE BESTIARY

Owl, not yet varnished. I had to make one eye closed, as it was lower than the other ...  improvising all the time.



Awesome Possum has had one glaze of varnish. It really brings out the color and texture nicely.



Froggy needs varnishing.



... started out from humble origins ...


Mr. P. will be getting a mane and tail made of real horse-hair, courtesy of Bruno.


Mr. Przewalski's beginning.




... and the Basset hound.

Finally, I am almost done. They are all painted, and some of them have had a first spray of varnish.  I hope to have them delivered this weekend.
The next project like this will be a goose, but I will try a different finish - something called "cloth mache". You can read about it on Dan Reeder's web site  http://www.papermachemonsters.com Dan makes fantastic monsters in cloth mache, and also has a wonderfully warped sense of humor.

Thank you for dropping by! Your comments are always welcome!
