Ultimate Paper Mache | ๐ซ Sculpting Stargazer Man - Part 1, the Armature and Paper Mache Clay @UltimatePaperMache | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
๐ In this first video, you can see how I added crumpled foil and a few foil balls - and a little bit of cardboard, to create the armature for my silly Stargazer Man portrait.
I used my Mannequin Head pattern to make the base. You can find that pattern here: ultimatepapermache.com/mannequin-head-pattern
๐ฆYou can find over 30 other patterns for masks and sculptures here: ultimatepapermache.com/patterns
Of course, you don't need to use the mannequin pattern - you could make a form yourself with crumpled foil and masking tape. You can also use the foil and other items to make a different creature, or a portrait of another character.
I hurried through this part of the process because I was trying out the new Paper Mache Clay recipe that can be used with any brand of joint compound. It worked great. You can find that recipe here: youtu.be/3oF_tKaRiBY
If you take your time and apply your paper mache clay more carefully than I did, you can make it even smoother with a thin layer of pre-mixed drywall joint compound. You can watch how I do that in this video: youtu.be/5KWB-q0j8r4
I put a couple of screenshots on my blog, in case you want a closer look at this fellow for some strange reason. ๐ You can find it here: ultimatepapermache.com/sculpting-stargazer-man-part-1
If I forgot a link that I said I'd include, please let me know.
In the next video, I'll clean up that rough paper mache clay with some new tools I just bought, and give him a bronze-look finish. Be sure and watch for it. If you just happen to write a short story to explain how Stargazer Man ended up on Earth, please post a link to it so we can read it. I'd love to know more about this crazy-looking guy. ๐
