Thanks for showing us the experiments that fail!!! They are the best teachers!!! LOVE your videos! Thanks!!!!! You are such a good sculptor!
Thank you so much! 😊
I just wanted to say i love and thank you all love from egypt ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh my - not a fast project in my book either but wow what great results. I'm still working on kids modeling clay making little turtles, but this is really inspiring. Love your work and I am deeply grateful that wonderfully talented artists such as yourself are willing to show us how to elevate our skills. You are amazing. Thank you.
Jonni, I am a portrait artist. When I was learning I used an artist’s comparative calipers (PROSPEK OF England). One side measures the object you are trying to make while the other increases or decreases the size of the object for sculpture or artwork….they are plastic and can be found in most fine art stores….inexpensive and faster to get the proportions correct from the start. Hope you try it….or even tell this to your students. A very cheap pasta roller from a second hand store or even a cook store will save hours getting the clay even and very thin. A super thin clay layer would be easy that way.
My mistakes often lead to an unexpected exponential leap in creativity that takes a project beyond my expectations. Sometimes when I realize a project is uninspiring, I wish for some serendipitous screwup to occur that can spur me to think outside the butt, as I call it.
Mistakes....................say it is not so. Even thou it did not work out as planned, the project looked nice. Thanks for the video. I drove up to Lake Superior today. Last year I drove to Duluth. I made a little video and it is on my channel. I am late watching your video but it was good to see you.
Thank you for sharing a video of things going wrong. The struggle is real and the learning is important. I love that you say this went wrong but next time I’ll do this. Look forward to the next video.
Hi Joni
So good to see you again
Loved this video
Thank you!
Patricia
Hi Patricia. It's always nice to hear from you. 😊
Спасибо большое, очень интересно! ❤🎉 👍
I'm enjjoying these videos a lot - I got into papier mache again because I wanted to use a less toxic material. but my stuff is mostly figurative, and these videos answer all the questions I've been asking.
Hi Jonni, it’s lovely to see you are still making beautiful art and sharing your talent. I spoke with you years ago about making a parrot. It came out wonderful and I still have it. Must have made it around 2013 - 2016. Anyway, before I try this, I was wondering if you’ve tried using very fine sawdust - almost the consistency of power, instead of flour in any of your paper maché recipes? Ok, I’ll let you go make something.😉 Keep looking up! -Louis
Hi Louis. No, I haven't tried using sawdust. Have you tried it?
Hi Jonni, I’m a new sub and new to paper mache and loving it. I just finished a frog. It looks silly😅
No, not yet. I made a mixture of glue and sawdust to fill a hole in a gypsy wagon I’m working on and it worked great. I will experiment and get back to you. 😊
I had an idea for hollow sculptures…..fill about 4/5 with expandable foam the sink in some marbles or even a small rock or two to make it stable to stand on it’s own……the inside foam would protect against dents forming by rough handling….
That sounds like a good idea, but some types of foam keeps expanding more than you expect. Do you know of a brand that wouldn't do that?
@@UltimatePaperMache sorry, I do not. I just used a can from HomeDepot to fill certain voids, but a couple of times it did expand, overfilling the gaps and I just had to use a sharp utility knife to cut the excess, nothing happened except that there was the removable overflow….the large Mardi Gras type head was fine. When my kids were young there were pink elephants, king of the fairies, Darth Vader and super Mario, hungry Hippo for several Halloweens.
Buenas tardes Me encanto como te quedo la scultura en papel mache genial admirable trabajo eres muy creativa y con gran talento Felicitaciones excelente trabajo muchas gracias por compartir te deseo muchos exitos y bendiciones un abrazo fuerte feliz tarde
What a Bummer! Would freezing the whole thing work?
I loved it at 5;55
😊
You are the best. Thank you for this video. Would freezing the mannequin help getting the paper Mache manequin separated from the clay?
What about filling the mannequin with concrete?
Couldn’t u also use sculpy and bake the clay?
Warming it won't release it?
How bout putting it in the freezer for a bit?
Hi Jonni, I make Pinatas and was wondering if you could recommend a good paper source. Thick newsprint with a little fuzz seems to work best. I usually use the free news print fliers you find at the grocery store. But cant find them anymore. Now I need to search out the perfect Pinata paper and don't know where to start.
Hi Marsha. I have never made a Pinata, but I use the brown paper that is stuffed in amazon.com shipping boxes. It's very close in weight to newspaper, although it may be just slightly heavier. I don't know where to buy it, though. I get the newspaper flyers in the mail, whether I want them or not, so I always have some of that, too. They used to make large pads of unbleached newspaper for kids to draw on, but I don't know if they do anymore. Maybe someone else will have a more helpful answer for you. 😊
@@UltimatePaperMache Thankyou for your reply!
hello, can you make a mouse mask tutorial?
I need it for my school.
and if there is a book I will buy it
😢
Cute new hair do ❤
Jonni! Try painting your sculpture in a thin layer of latex paint, let it dry then apply your paper mache. You should be able to cut through the paint and it won’t stick to the oil based clay.
This is a what happened video, not a how to video.
