Hello I have questions why do you have to use glue all when your using joint compound? Wouldn’t just plane glue work?
Are you asking about the Elmer’s Glue-all in the paper mache clay recipe? If so, the glue needs to be a PVA-type glue, and the brand available around here is the Elmer’s brand. But I’m not sure that’s what you were asking – if not, please let me know.
These masks are awesome. These masks reminds me about my childhood days.
I can’t say this is the best, although I’m tempted to! (I mean, look at the wall.) It is dramatic. What surprised me in watching this video is that it looks great at every stage of the game. My first impression on seeing it painted was the blue eyes are a knock-out, but the design itself is powerful with character. A little Yellow Oxide (without the eyes painted) was beautiful. You could have stopped anywhere along the way, but it is spectacular. The stripes are lovely (and scary to think about painting)! Thank you very much. A masterpiece.
Thank you, Rex. I’m so glad you like him. I don’t like to play favorites, but I’m really attached to this guy. Now I have to move some of those other critters around to make room for him on the wall.
I was really nervous about painting those stripes, but when I found out that they don’t have to exactly match on both sides, and the stripes follow the contours of the face, that made it feel a lot easier. Jessie also suggested that we could get away with using less black in the stripes, and have them more brownish – there are a lot of white tigers with brown stripes. There’s even a color phase called a Golden Tiger. They look very different from white and orange tigers, but very beautiful. If I’d known about them last week I would have added them to the choices for people to vote for. If anyone makes one, we really want to see it!
That white tiger turned out so well!!!!!!!
Thank you! I’m so glad you like him. 🙂
