- Okay, so RUclips is now putting ads on my videos without my permission. Just hit refresh quickly until the video opens with no ad in front of it!
I love deities, especially when they involve snakes and dragons. Visit my website, www.GourmetPape..., and my blog, www.PaperMacheB... for more information about paper mache, and me. Thank you for watching! Please subscribe if you like (I recently lost all of my subscribers....a long story).
This is absolutely the most incredible piece. I mean, all of your pieces are amazing, but this one is so life like! The details are immaculate! It is truly priceless.
Melody Russell
Thank you Melody! I really appreciate the note!
Dan
Hello. Thank you for the nice compliment. After sculpting with the paper mache pieces I add a "skin" of cloth (just old bed sheets torn into pieces) dipped in white glue. It makes it very durable and allows for detail you can't get with paper alone. I dubbed this process "cloth mache" many years ago, for lack of a better term.
Take care
Dan
Your work is really amazing! I love watching these pieces come together gradually, and I think making these videos is a good way of getting people to appreciate the versatility of this medium. I especially love the "unveiling" of the eyes at the end of the process. Also, of course, I love to watch your little cat wander through from time to time :) Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Emily! I appreciate your note! Scraping the eyes is my favorite part. The piece comes alive at that moment. I'll let my furry "helpers" know you appreciate them too.
Take care
Dan
I have been using cloth for years with my mache pieces . This technique has been around since the turn of the century..at least but almost lost in modern mache. I have found pieces..mostly dolls from that era. I find that the more worn the sheet or lighter it is..the better. Dan..you are amazing
+Rottenest1
It really is a great medium, no doubt about it. And yes, the more worn the sheet the better. It bothers me that "thrift" stores have become so commercial that they often throw away the most worn sheets. I used to get perfect sheets. They are harder to find now that everyone shops in these places. Thank you for the nice note! Good luck with your work!
Dan
This is one of the most wonderful things I've seen anyone create.
Thank you very much Americanfella! Nice of you to say!
Dan
You demonstrate admirably the tremendous potential of this medium. It offers so much opportunity for creative expression. The light weight quality of it opens up all kinds of possibilities. Thank you so much for sharing your incredible work and promoting this wonderful art form.
+R E Jackson
Hello R.E. Thank you so much for the nice comment! I do think this is a great medium. There are endless possibilities indeed.
Take care
Dan
Thank you! I'm glad you appreciate the detail. It took a very long time.
Dan
Hola
Beautiful video, Dan. You know what the problem with these amazing videos is? They're always so seamless they don't reflect the amount of work you put into them. Kind of like Fred Astaire and dancing: so perfect, it seems effortless.
As always, thank you for sharing another glorious piece of art.
You make it look zoo easy Dan! I have watched your videos hundreds of times, got the books, and still can't quite get it right. lol Fantastic artwork, please keep it up.
Hey Willow! I'm glad you think I make them look easy. You've heard me complain enough to know that it isn't. Glad you like this one.
Thanks!
Dan
Your pieces are amazing. I especially admire your attention to the detail on the scales and the belly of the snake. Your painting looks as if you are using some sort of stains? and layering the colors, even though some others have criticized this, I love the finished product.. Your dragons are awesome! I was trying to figure out what you used for the teeth. Is it a modeling clay? or is it paper mache also? and your eyes. I think it is evident from your dragon video that you make them as well. it looks like reverse glass painting and when they are seen in the finished product after all of the exquisite detailing you do around the eyes and mouth, just beautiful! I am sharing your dragon video with my son as he will definitely love it. Keep pushing Paper Mache! You are very talented.
Thanks again Patty! I don't mind the criticism of my painting. I just tell them to give it a try. Then they can paint the way they like. Having said that, I want to mention that these are much nicer in person. As you guessed, there are many layers of color. I make teeth out of polymer clay like Fimo or Sculpy. You just bake in the oven. And I use taxidermy eyes a lot. Sometimes I buy the "blanks" and paint the inside myself. I appreciate your support!
Dan
You are very welcome. Great job!

Patty Castle jjjjbm . ,m u
Very, very nice indeed. Fantastic scale work. It all came together perfectly.
These horns are made of Fimo, a polymer clay. You bake it in the oven.
Dan
So here i'm searching for paper mache tutorials. Thinking about how hard it is to make a paper mache bridge...
And then I hit these pieces of art. I was absolutely amazed about your vids. Amazing work! Really inspiring!
Thank you so much Rowdy. I really appreciate the remarks. Good luck on your project!
Dan
CAN YOU PLEASE ADD THE MATERIALS BEING USED THANKS
Hello Michael,
After I sculpt with paper mache pieces I add a "skin" of cloth dipped in white glue. I call the process "cloth mache" for lack of a better term. It adds a great deal of strength and also allows for details that you can't get with just paper. You can see more about my techniques on my website and blog (links just under the video). Thank you for your interest.
Dan
what a tallent man! all dragons are awesome. you can make mountains and a scene to put the dragons too?
Victor Vinicius
Thanks Victor! Maybe sometime I'll work at a background. That's an entirely different type of art.
Take care
Dan
@@Gourmetpapermache what did you make the scales with?????
@@ha65anos I make scales by dipping pieces of cloth into white glue. I call the process "cloth mache".
It's been awhile since my last visit in your awesome channel (1 year to be exact). I still remember how you made the sea dragon. From that very moment I feel in love with your art work. With your latest creation, you inspire a lot of young dreamers again to explore their own talent.
You are such an amazing artist!
You Make Some Awesome Pieces....I Really Like Your Paper Mache Videos...Have You Ever Thought To Enter In Your Show Pieces In Some Kind Of Art Show Or Something? I Have A Feeling You Would Win First Place With These Kind Of Paper Mache Animals/Sci-fi Animals/Etc. And Such...Haha =D
I Could Totally See It Happening...lol
Thanks for the nice remarks! I appreciate your confidence!
Dan
Jesus Christ the detail you put into this is amazing!
Thank you very much Pug Mommy! (I love pugs!)
This looks like it's real... I'm not joking
Do any of you agree?
i guess
Livia Runge
Hope On Next Video He Will Make
Naga Male And Female WorldofWarcraft Tft Version
Or Undead Skeleton,Undead Behemoth
never seen anyone work paper like you do!! most excellent
how in the fliip you do this?????????
+Jaylen Jamerson
Thank you. I just pull it out of the air....with lots of time and effort.
Dan
THx and does it matter what tape you use.
And are the teeth made of clay?????
+Jaylen Jamerson
I use masking tape. I make the teeth out of Fimo, a polymer clay.
I swear paper mache has come along way since I was a kid!
That has been my goal for a very long time, to resurrect this art form. Glad you like it.
Hello again Christian. Nice to hear from you. Thank you once again for your support. Your words are greatly appreciated.
Take care
Dan
Hello Eddie. This took a couple of months to make. It felt like a year. It was the scales and the belly plates that took the time. But I enjoy it. It's meditative for me.
Thanks for the interest.
Dan
Du eine Frage hätte ich noch.....Kann ich für die Haut auch Tapeten Kleister nehmen oder geht nur alzweck kleber und die Haut solte mehr Baumwolle Bettlaken oder mehr Leinen Bettlaken sein. Die Materialien sind ja wichtig für die Beschaffenheit daher meine Frage.....Danke
looks fantastic! I loved the unpainted version already.
Thank you Fae. Yes, I've always said that a good paint job can make a good sculpture great. But a great paint job can't save a bad sculpture. I liked it when it was white as well. So I knew it was going to be fine. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
Dan
Thank you Joao! You are very kind. I really appreciate the comment.
Dan
Lots of work but well worth the final effect. Brilliant!
+Lee Jordan
Thank you Lee! Yes, the scales took a long time. But I like doing the work, so I don't mind.
Glad you like this!
Dan
es impresionante lo que se puede hacer con materiales sumamente simples, y tu le das vida a estos mismos increíble este tipo de arte,,, de nuevo felicidades
Thanks! I love all sorts of crafts and was bitten by the paper mache bug a year ago when I made my first dragon out of materials in my dorm. I think I commented on one of your videos at some point, but I don't remember....Anyways I am now working on my third dragon and I have learned so much from watching other artists like yourself and you are still my favorite!
I must say that I enjoyed watching this piece of work.
As an owner of snakes, I must say that you put a great amount of detail into this snake.
The scales and underbelly must have taken some time.
Also the blackwash really made the textures pop.
Great job!
Thank you again! Yes, the blackwash really helps pull out the colors. Glad you like this one!
All your paper mache creations are great! Dragons, snakes, lizards, and dinosaurs are my favorite :P Must give a like.
+Cary .C
Thank you Cary! I really appreciate the nice note!
Dan
Anytime! C;
The eye reveal gets me every time!
Me too! Thank you Denise!
Awesomely superbbbbbbb......
Fantastic *work*
Thank you so much! That is very nice of you to say!
What kind of sheet are you using, cotton? It looks pretty thick like canvas. Do you fold it over for the thickness?
Great job by the way, started my baby dragon awhile back but stopped when I couldn't figure out how to cover the body, paint alone isn't cutting it with me, like your cloth idea, I'm assuming it's dipped in the paste mixture of flour and water, I add compound to mine to give it a hardness. Thanks for the inspiration and also like your painting,teeth and tongue techniques! You've helped me alot to overcome my mind blocks and hesitations on my projects!
I've also did my wings in stain glass paint and topped with mod podge layered on a sheet of thin Styrofoam packaging, it peeled right off and I lined it over my wire pattern, it turned out better then I could imagine and really sturdy!
Thank you for the nice comment Jo! I'm happy I could be of some help. I use old bed sheets. I don't look at the blend. It's more about how worn it is and how well it lays down. I use flour and water paste with the newspaper but not with the cloth. For that I use white glue, usually Elmer's. And Yes, I do fold the cloth once I've soaked it in the glue. For scales I'll usually fold it into triangles. Good luck with your projects!
Dan
Hi again. The scales were very time consuming. That is true. But the detail makes the project work I think.
Nice to hear from you.
Dan
Thank you Tanya. I don't put a full cloth on the back side. Just strips to cover the "spines". This is true of wings. The snake is a little different. Because I put scales on the back, this particular project did have cloth on the back.
Take care
Dan
It turned out great. I have been watching the work in progress photos on your site and looking forward to the final project.
y con que haces los dientes y las puas..es masa ceramica o algo tipo vidrio?
Thanks John. I'm glad you like that little effect with the scales. It took forever to do, so I'm happy you noticed. Hope all is well with you and your music.
Dan
uhsss una obra de arte IMPRESIONANTE pero tengo una pregunta ¿como haces el engrudo para pegar el papel que tipo de materiales utilizas?
Oh man that's awesome. I can only imagine how long it took to carefully place the scales on the entire body!
One of the coolest dudes on youtube. Great work
Jaehyun Shin
What a nice compliment! Thank you so much Jaehyun.
Dan
darm pretty good with your craft man i was blown away...
Thank you Rommel. I really appreciate the nice comment!
Dan
wwuuuaaauuu ...tus trabajos son unicos y perfectos..tu combinacion en las pinturas es genial..sacas buenas mesclas y sombreados...una consulta q es la lamina blanca q pones casi al final de tus trabajos
Im actually shocked at how much attention to detail you have! This is so incredible. It must be so time consuming putting all the individual scales etc on a piece. On a piece this size how many hours would you say tou spend?
Jade Muyan Thanks for the note Jade. I'm very flattered. Yes, it took many hours to make this. I'm not sure how many hours. I don't time. But I spent a couple weeks just on the scales if I remember correctly. Take careDan
Thank you! I really appreciate the support. Glad you enjoyed it.
Dan
How long does it take to complete a project approximately? I know thay all have different degrees of difficulty and some require more details thant others. Also, DAMN, where did you learne to do that? They're all awesome
No way! Cloth bedsheets! Never in my wildest dreams did I guess that. I was thinking maybe plaster. Glad you showed the femo clay. I use that too. This was an amazing job!
Lori Green
Thank you Lori! I appreciate the note. Good luck with your art!
DAn
i've got to ask, what is it that you use when it comes to making the teeth, and spikes (or horns) that go down along the head, and what do you make the scales out of (that white substance that you use a lot for extra detail)? it's really neat to how much detail you put into it!
Thanks Dalton. I use cloth dipped in glue for the "skin" including the scales (folded cloth). I use Fimo for the teeth and spikes. Glad you like this.
Take care
Dan
Hey Katherine. Nice to hear from you! I like the effect to of watching the scales magically appear. Of course that meant two cuts on the video for every scale. After so much work, I'm very happy that you noticed and appreciated it. Thank you so much!
Dan
Putting all those scales and every little detail is it all worthwhile to you in the end 😄
Yes, I think it is true. Thank you for saying so.
Dan
Thank you for replying
You are a good statue maker.
Thank you very much Krishna!
I am in love with your art work. I have always been interested in anything that has to deal with art. I am inspired to do a lot of papper mache now. Wish me luck!
Give it a try Lakota! You will love it. Have fun!
Dan
which type of paper you use for the scales ? Are you using a more large size of paper ?
Wow Dan your attention to detail is amazing. May I ask how many hours you have in this piece? Rough guess maybe. Do you build this and sell then or are many commissions ...what inspires you?
¡¡¡Hola de nuevo Dan!!!
¡Estuvo súper padre esta serpiente dragón!
¡Buen trabajo, Like!
Hola Rodriguez. Gracias por el bonito comentario! Estoy feliz de que te guste esta pieza!
how did you make the snakes body so smooth? I'm making one atm and its all bumpy, do you wrap it with paper and then tape over it?
Yes, I filled in voids with small pieces of paper and taped over them. The paper mache then smoothed it even more. Good luck
"opening the eyes" must be quite a thrill. I'm put in mind of Buddha Rupas, where this is a sacred moment. :-) Kinda wish I could slow this down to about half speed.
great work, as always!
Olhamo
Yes, that is indeed my favorite part. The come alive at that moment. For what it's worth, I show the making of many projects, step by step with commentary, on my blog. If I slowed the videos down, they would get much longer and no one would watch them. I've been told they are too long as it is. People on RUclips have very short attention spans I'm afraid. Thank you as always. I really appreciate the support.
Dan
GourmetPaperMache I understand. :-) It's just such a contrast with the meditative nature of the process, as I read you said. btw, I'm alison, who learned from your book how to do "cloth-mache", and made my first experiments with two dragons in a tableau that won "best in show, non-functional", which still tickles me! Your book The Simple Screamer ought to be in every school, in my view. I carried the cloth mache to silk, which, for anyone reading, makes very fine horns and fingers. The scarf silk. we spoke a bit a few years ago. Wish you all the best, Dan
Olhamo
Hi Allison! NIce to hear from you again! You are very kind. I really appreciate your nice remarks about my first book. Congrats on your awards! That's really cool. Silk....I'll have to give that a try.
Hope you are still making art. I'd love to post photos on my website.
Take care
Dan
Ich habe eine Frage: verkaufst du die drachen und wenn ja dann worüber?
PS: riesen Fan von drachen
Ich verkaufe Kunstwerke auf meiner Website und durch Provision. Allerdings ist der Verkauf außerhalb der USA schwierig, da die Versandkosten sehr teuer sind.
Sorry to keep commenting on everything, your stuff is just so great! And I'm trying to learn and you seem rather friendly (and funny) When you put the bed sheet on and then cut away the extra, do you let it dry completely first? When you did the face scales, was that still the bed sheet? Do you just fold the edges over to get the scale shape? These videos are so cool, and I liked the music on this one a lot :)
Hi again. Yes I let the cloth dry before trimming. The face scales were made by folding cloth. Glad you like them.
Dan
I am watching this video after about 5 years and after watching this video I cannot stop me to like and comment on this video those memories are refreshed🙂🙂🙂
So glad you enjoy the videos! Thanks for the nice note!
thanks to you Dan I have done a horse head, a gator, a fish and a cat, i really love your work, i have two books from you and they worth every penny, the horse head was a present for my girlfriend and she was amaze, thanks maestro!!!
You are very welcome Jimmy! Thank you for the note. I would love to see what you've done. I would love to post photos on my site if you are interested (with any caption you'd like). Just send them to me at dan@gourmetpapermache.com. Either way, thank you for this comment. I love it when people realize how great this art medium is.
Keep making art!
Dan
I just send some pictures to ur email, let me know what you think, I don't have pictures of the horse but I just start doing another one...
and this art medium is the best... very easy
thanks! I'll check them out.
Wow wow wow attention to detail is amazing!! Bravo sir 👏🏻
excellent work, how long did it take you to complete this piece? looks like A LOT of work
imprecionante!!!!Una maravilla de arte!!!! dime tu haces los ojos de que material son???gracias
This one is the best of your figures !
Thank you very much! Glad you like this one!
couple of questions , do you use cloth of any kind ? or is it all paper? also it's great that you make these amazing models of dragons! But have you ever thought about making the balrog from LOTR ? ?? :)
The "skin" is cloth dipped in white glue. A Balrog would be fun, but there is no way to capture the fire aspect.
Thanks for watching
+GourmetPaperMache thanks! How about a balrog head trophy like the dragon heads ;)
WOW a masterpiece again Dan and I love the new editing you have done where the scales magically appear without your hands in the shoot that must have taken forever to do!
truly beautiful work ^_^ I think this is my favourite! What is it you soak the cloth in before you applied it to your sculpture please? :)
never mind spotted your tutorial video ^_^ hehe love your kittehs!
Thank you Redd. I appreciate your compliments. And yes, I soak the cloth is white glue, like Elmer's
Dan
Congratulations for you work! Ine question, what material is the WHITE PAPER with you make the skin texture?
I add a "skin" of cloth dipped in white glue. I call that process "cloth mache"
Dan
Thanks for the answer, keep working, you are amazing
gmaik05
Thank you! Good luck!
Thank you Mr John! You are very kind.
Dan
Thank you! You are very supportive, as always.
Dan
query, what is the white wrapping you use? it looks vaguely like plaster bandages but has a different texture to it
+Haley Sabrina
That is cloth (bed sheets) dipped in white glue. Plaster wrapping is way too heavy and brittle.
+GourmetPaperMache thank you so very much
Hello again Dan!
About your "cloth mache" process, are you using some special kind of cloth?
hello dan I use this technique too, but cut you tell me if you use glue and water with something more, please help me because i think water with blue isnt resintant to much
Hello Andres. I am sorry. Something must be lost in translation. I don't understand your question. Do you mean when I add the cloth? I do not add any water to the white glue. For the paper mache paste I use flour and water only. I am not sure if I answered your question.
Dan
yes the cloth and the paper and what kind of cloth do you use
Andres Daniel Garita Castro
I use old bed sheets for cloth. Nothing special.
GourmetPaperMache thanks a lot Dan Blessing for you
thanks,
Totally impressive detail! Stunning work.
it is a major family event when you release a new monster. Superb as usual. great editing on the 'scaling' watching the scales appear in rows was sweet.
have you ever made a Chimera?
Good afternoon master, his work is amazing, I was very excited, what do you use the mixture to make the mache? flour and warm water? as each
Thank you so much Roger! I appreciate the nice comment! Yes, I just use flour and warm water for the paper mache paste. Good luck!
Dan
GourmetPaperMache equal parts?
roger morales
Yes, equal parts to start. It will get thicker as you work so you will have to add more water while you are working. I keep extra water close by.
Have fun.
Dan
Thank you! I really appreciate the compliment.
Dan
Wonderful work. Very creative I would like to do someone. What kind of paint had you used?
Hello again Luis. I just used "all purpose" paint, like they use to paint houses. Any paint will work but I like it to be water soluble.
Dan
GourmetPaperMache Can you please tell me how to prevent the dragon from burning me everytime i finished?
This one is so intricate! Love your work!
Thank you for the nice comment!
Thank you for the enthusiastic comment!
Dan
Este material fino que parece um tecido também é papel? Apaixonada pelo seu trabalho, parabéns...
J. Hwang
Obrigado pelas palavras gentis. Acrescento uma "pele" de pano (lençóis) embebido em cola branca.
Dan
Muito obrigada e continue com os vídeos, são muito bons, virei fã, abraços...
J. Hwang
Obrigado. Você é muito gentil!
Thank you! I'm glad you appreciate the labor involved. You are very kind.
Dan
PS. Love your login!
Hello! I 'm your fan and interested in your work, you tell me please what materials you use ?
I use newspaper, flour and water paste, masking tape, polymer clay for teeth, taxidermy eyes, pieces of wire clothes hangers, cloth and all purpose glue, paint.
Take care
Dan
What material did you use for the gums and for the part between the spikes on the sides? I also make some sculptures in paper mache, mostly Pokemon, and this video helped me a lot. Thank you! (Sorry for bad english)
Thank you Pedro! I am happy that I could help. I add a "skin" of cloth (bed sheets) dipped in white glue. That is what you see in the mouth as well. Good luck with your art! Take care
Dan
Thank you once again! I'll try to use it.
What are the thicker clothlike pieces you are putting on your sculpture? I am pretty sure that's not paper mache?
You are right. After sculpting with paper mache I add a "skin" of cloth (bed sheets) dipped in white glue.
Hi Dan. Awesome work as usual!
I know you have said before you like the older more worn sheets, but do you have a preference when it comes to the thread count and material? (Cotton-polyester blend, 100% cotton..... etc)
cheers :)
hey friend what did u use to put on the scales? and what paint do u use?
your work is amaizing!!! only one question, who do you do to make the little pieces, in this case the skin of the snake, with the old bed cloths?¿ do you cut with scissors and a lot of pacience?¿
Hello Dani. After sculpting with paper mache I add a "skin" of cloth (old bed sheets) dipped in white glue (like Elmer's). I call it "cloth mache". The scales are just square pieces folded and cut. And yes, a lot of patience involved.
Take care
Dan
GourmetPaperMache thank you so much to answer me so fast, i am trying to make my first sculture, i will show you when i finnish. And one more question..... i am looking in internet but i don't find eyes so beautifull that you have, do you buy the eyes in internet? what page? thank you so much!!!
Excuse me sir, I missed a passage, how did you make those spines at 0:24? Sorry for the inconvenience, the fact is that I've a strong passion for these things and I would like to start to make some of these. And how did you "glue them" to the rest of the body? Thanks. :) Can I make these statues just with newspapers? I haven't got the cloth to make the final layer. Thanks again and anyways... your creations are amazing! :D
I use Fimo or Sculpy (polymer clay) to make the spines and the teeth. I hold them with hot glue or masking tape. I show the making of this project step-by step on my blog, papermacheblog.com/older-paper-mache-projects/paper-mache-naga-dragon-queen-of-snakes/.
Thank you for all your kindness and being so patient with me, I literally love all of your works, congrats Dan!
You are very welcome. Let me know if you have any more questions. Good luck!
I'm thinking about making a paper mache wolf. (Labrador retriever sized) How would i go about making that?
+Kittykisses585
I'm sorry, I just wouldn't know how to give advice about something like that in this forum. I have a video where I made a dog. You might check that out.
Ok thank you.
Hello again Carlos. I'm not sure what you mean. You can get to my website (and send me an email) using the links under the video. RUclips doesn't allow links in the comments.
Dan
Thx for sharing your technique for building up and color layering.
You are very welcome! Thank you for the nice remarks! Good luck!
Beautiful creature. Looks awesome!
Thank you very much! Glad you like this one!
This is AMAZING! I just found your channel and I just became a huge fan of your job and I think that every piece that u make it's so freaking cool, actually, this piece even looks like a real cobra!
Thank you very much! I'm really happy that you like my work. You are very kind to write.
Dan
