As already said, the marble look is amazing. Great work.
The marble-look coloring is excellent on her smooth finish.
How did you achieve that lovely coloring?
The paper mache mix is a light grey colour, due to the news print I guess. The finish is quite rough so I used dry wall filler to smooth it down. Rubbed it down with a very fine wet & dry paper with no water. Made some gesso with talcum powder and that’s how it turned out. I’m quite happy with the finish.
As you should be. She’s a beauty, top to bottom.
Thanks for sharing, John!
Nice John, it almost looks like it is made from marble. Lovely smooth finish
John, thanks for showing her to us. I’m really impressed with that smooth finish!
