I wanted to make sure to thank Jonni for her videos and I hope she sees this because if it wasn’t for the tutorials I wouldn’t have the first clue on how to do any of this! I know this probably isn’t what you typically see your recipes being used for, but I am a special FX makeup artist and usually paint and sculpt things for FX makeup and prosthetics.
I decided to try and fabricate some Halloween decorations but I really wanted to make them look realistic and cool. I also wanted to do something a more cost efficient way. I am not sure if you have seen the show Stranger Things Season 4, but that is the theme I did for the decorations. I made a life size Vecna monster and covered his entire body in your paper mache original recipe, I then hand sculpted his head with your air dry paper mache recipe.
I also did a creepy victim with your air dry clay recipe. I am 4’11 and He was around 6’0 I had to string him up with rope in my closet so I could attach his head! I wish I could send you a video so you could see all of the details I was able to create with your clay, also the time lapse of using it and covering his whole body! I think you would think it was pretty cool! People were coming to my house to take pictures and they thought it was awesome, it was all thanks to you!! I will definitely be using your recipe for Christmas I was thinking about making some gremlins to put outside and make them look like they’re ruining my Christmas decorations, haha!
Very late to the party but I’m sourcing ideas for my son’s birthday. He would love some like this, any tips/videos would greatly appreciated!
Hi Gemma. This guest post was submitted back in 2022, so Marissa might not be watching her post for comments. It was a very challenging project, and it’s definitely inspiring. But it must have taken ages – when is your son’s birthday?
Thanks so much for your e-mail. Yes o expect well out of my league. His birthday is the second week of October!
Thank you
Gemma
Yes awesome job… cant wait for video…
Awesome big fan of Stranger thing and Jonni Goode I think you did a great job of representing both. I love it
Robin, I agree that this is a great piece, but I really had nothing to do with it. Our friend Marissa Hagood submitted these photos. She did an amazing job, didn’t she! 🙂
Marissa did a great job. She is very talented
Thank you so much!
Marissa Hagood awesome job. I watch Jonni’s video too. You really made Venca come to life. He looks great
Wow – what a challenging project! We would love to see that video. If you posted one on YouTube, just include the URL in a comment and I’ll move it up into your post so we can see it.
Thank you so much! I will make a video for YouTube and post the url today!
This is amazing! I’d love to see your process!
