Description

The writer makes it easy so that you can create a tiny paper mache dog of your own. You only need a couple of basic tools and some materials you can already have lying around the house. The only thing you may want to purchase is a couple of feet of aluminum wire for the armature — or use some wire you alredy have on hand. First, choose a pattern from the 27 breeds included in the book. Then build your armature by bending the wires, the use of the pattern for a guide. This makes sure that your finished sculpture will have the right proportions for your breed. Add a couple of bits of crumpled aluminum foil to round out the forms, with the pattern guiding you, and then twist and bend your little dog into any position you desire. With these simple steps it’s easy to create a full of life original sculpture of your own design. When your armature is finished, the writer shows you how to make the two layers of paper mache as smooth as you need it to be. You’ll be able to add wrinkles, fur, happy mouths and other details after the paper mache is dry. If you need to paint your dog, You’ll be able to use the writer’s recipe for an inexpensive home-made gesso to add interesting textures. Then the writer gives you suggestions for painting your sculpture, including an easy way to paint brindled spots, how to give an all-white dog an interesting coat, how to emphasize heavily-textured fur with acrylic glazing liquid, and more. The writer is a well-known paper mache artist who has written several popular books on the subject. She also writes tutorials and creates videos for her blog, at UltimatePaperMache.com.
