paper mache figure

This is my first attempt at making a paper mache figure. I decided he is a wizard, though I haven't figured out his name yet. He isn't finished yet, so this is just the starting photos of him.






Wire frame on pillow










first layer of paper mache clay








More clay, one boot, and his staff.










I'm noticing that lately I'm having trouble getting steady photos. I know I've had jiggly problems in the past, but this seems to be more constant. It's annoying!

I've decided that my first paper mache sculpture is a wizard. He's not anywhere near being done. Got more work to do, and of course this evening I've spent not accomplishing much at all.

I'm wondering if I should try my hand at making a unicorn for my sister-in-law for Christmas. Or should I just stick to the Family Calendar plan, and see how I do as a sculpture artist. Artiste. I crack me up!

I was reading the webpage of that Louie Rochon. What an interesting person! Like, wow. What a life!

Having to work a regular day job really sucks! Eats up too much freaking time! But it is nice to have money for cat food and soda. :)
