AWESOME!!! What mixture did u use for your papier mache? It's so smooth!

[HazelBryce]

Its not so much a mixture as a process. I applied cut strips of newspaper one at a time and worked them in with 'gunky' fingers. The 'gunk' was standard wallpaper adhesive made from powder. I built up many layers like this that were sandwiched and finished in PVA glue.

One of the best- actually, no, the best- paper mache sculptures I've ever seen! I hope it's found a home in a Museum somewhere!!!

[starz2shine]

Awesome! I totally salute you for the beauty and exquisiteness of this masterpiece. With just one glance, it's absolutely impossible to believe that you used papier mache for the outer layers.

One word comes to mind: masterpiece. If you display it publicly, I think it should be in the Louvre. I'm blown away by it!

[saltwatersun]

Wow...it really is amazing....

[youtubasoarus]

Hi hazel, mind me asking how you get the paper mache so smooth like that? I'm trying to accomplish a similar surface quality on my models.

Thanks. Looks amazing!

^^ question, i wanted starte paper mache, is there a certain paper that works alot better then newspaper ^^ also That is the most awsome thing i have EVER seen :D

[HazelBryce]

Hi . Thanks for your comment. The Financial Times is he best British paper for sculpting smooth intricate shapes as used in the seahorse. Free newspapers papers are best for pulp mache. I dont recommend using fillers or PVA in the mix, just wallaper paste. I've also experimented with other papers, each gives a different effect. It depends what you want to acheive. Good luck! Hazel

From one paper mache artist to another, great job!
