Here’s the first papier mâché squid.
A second one is in the works, but I’m having some trouble deciding on the color. I’ve even been tempted to add glitter. As much as I love glitter, I’m not sure that’s the right approach. Oh well, there’s no need to decide tonight.
The squid is nearing completion, but first, it’s a bowl made from origami paper. I really do love the collaged look of it.
Last night I finished some jewelry and a small ball all made with pages from “Lolita.” I’m seeing more of the book bowls in my future.
After missing a class designed to recreate one’s pet in paper mache, I decided to see what I could do on my own. Sure, I’m making basic bowls and whatnot, but I’m also having fun with paper pulp and silicone molds. Maybe next weekend I’ll be able to paint them. However, the real labor of love and source of creative excitement is the squid I started. Here’s the frame. I have nothing but high hopes!
