| 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! |
You are amazing us!

ReplyDeleteYou are so creative Kathryn, this was a real surprise ! You must show them when they are finished. xx
ReplyDeleteWow 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.
ReplyDeleteBtw, I thought I commented on your tug boat - but that was amazing painting there! Such a fog!
I love your creatures outputs newspaper, I also hope that you will show us them dressed ;)
