Art Over Load X 3

Updates…..

First, our WOW #3 is coming along nicely, I attached the ears and strengthened the ears near the head. I find that here is the only possible problem area.





After Wow finishes drying I will place strips around the ears to cover the clay and add more strength. I have lost hours of work for not doing more to strengthen my pieces. So, now I put extra effort into every pieces.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

I hope that everyone is gearing up for a good day tomorrow, and I do hope that you will be with the people that you love and love you!
I am most grateful for the family I have here and will miss the family in heaven; But I have to say I have better than I deserve. Thank you, Lord!

Happy Thanksgiving, a get chance to get creative!

Make Paper Mache Clay

Make Paper Mache Clay

Paper mache clay requires few ingredients and batches can be quickly and cheaply made as you need. Clay artists have taken this school time art and have expanded on this notion to achieve great works of art or fun bits of whimsy.

As Paper Mache Artist I want to share the recipe that I currently incorporate into my three dimensional sculptures. You will also find links to other useful recipes on my website through the link provided.

Just Another Wow Sculpture

This is little Wow #3 and coming along quite nicely. I am trying to take more photos to share with you the process I have chosen. 

I made each of the body parts separately and covered them with a layer of news strips. The head and body are created with balloons. Balloons make the perfect shape for the round body Wow has.

Paper Mache Clay Wow # 2

This is Wow #2 the order came in so quickly I did not get to photograph his progress, but right before I ran to drop him off at Yada Yada Gallery, I took some shots.

ART Takes Flight

Paper mache is one of the most versatile arts around; there is no right or wrong way to do it. You can create almost anything, and usually you have all you need laying around your home.
