I was so lucky to find Jonni’s site because I saw her magnificent giraffe online. That began my interest in paper mache. So, here is my first completed pattern.
Gerome Giraffe
I was so lucky to find Jonni’s site because I saw her magnificent giraffe online. That began my interest in paper mache. So, here is my first completed pattern.
Includes Jonni’s famous Paper Mache Clay recipe, and tips on choosing the right recipe for your next project.
I can’t believe this is your first project! Gerome is beautiful! Keep up the good work.
Great work, Ty! Paper Mache is like making something from nothing based on patience, heart and curiousity. Your first attempt is amazing and I hope it inspires you to do more with everything you must have learned in the process.
I’m an admirer of all things artistic, unique and/or hand made with love. So I do a lot of looking and very little doing. But it absolutely amazes me that ‘Gerome’ started out as one dimensional cut out shapes resembling no part of a giraffe, and in the hands of a novice, became this Handsome Specimen. I want to make one too; but I have more looking to do. Sigh
