An experiment in sculpture using paper mache and paper mache clay. I used gorilla glue for the first time in this project and learned a few things about how it works!
Thank you for making this. The perfect amount of content with out any filler, and your narration is clear and consistent. I wish you produced every RU-vid instruction video. Fantastic end result. Would never have guessed that’s how it was made.
I make wands and have recently started making "unicorn horns." I've been looking for a horse skull to turn into a unicorn skull, but now I think I'm going to make my own. Thanks for this.
Some brilliant new ideas with papier mache, I was especially interested in the gorilla glue for waterproofing. How is it standing up outside? I’m in the UK and it is rainy here, I’ve been trying to find some way of waterproofing for outside sculptures. Thank you! Looks great 😊
I love the goat head! Could you list out all of the materials? I want to make sure i have everything and can make substitutions for materials if needed.
Thanks. Most of the stuff you need is mentioned in the video, but basically you'll need aluminium foil, newspaper, pva glue, some wire to stiffen up the pool noodles used for the horns, some gorilla glue for waterproofing and some stopping plaster (which is used for plastering walls). At a pinch you could just use plaster of Paris. And maybe a small block of wood so you've got something solid inside to attach it to a wall. Hope this helps and good luck!
Thanks mate. Unfortunately I made abit of an error. In a rush I totally 4got the masking tape and went straight to paper machet. Is it possible now once it's dried to apply masking tape and then 2nd coat paper machet or is it too late?
Absolutely that should be ok. The function of the masking tape is to give a solid surface for the paper mache to stick to. But you could probably get away with it now that you have a surface already. The more layers of paper mache you can put on, the better!
Sorry mate one final question. Masking tape done. It's pretty secure and sturdy. Do you recommend one more coating of paper machet like you did ? Or OK to acrylic paint over. I'm using black paint with over in streaks after that. Deffo looks more stable now with the tape
