Trying paper-maché during quarantine. I used the old-fashioned balloon method, with paper strips. The balloon started to deflate mid-project. Found this site and used the clay recipe to build it back up. So far, so good! Don’t recommend using balloons. At least not cheap ones!
I gave up balloons when I found this site. Never looked back and don’t intend to. They are beautiful quail. (Come to think about it, I haven’t seen many this year.) Thanks.
By the way, when I’ve made things with nothing to keep the standing, I use rings of some kind — masking tape cardboard, plastic rings, hollow rocks, whatever you can find. Doesn’t take much to keep them upright. Awesome.
Those are adorable! Great paint job!
Ann, I agree about the balloon – they make any project harder. But your quail are beautiful anyway! I love the way you painted them.
