It's time to take another look at the giant paper mache dragon I made eleven years ago. (I can't believe it's been that long!)
In this video, I share my honest thoughts on what went right - and what I would do differently if I made something like this again. Are you thinking about making a sculpture with paper mache that's bigger than you are? Be sure to watch this video first - I've learned some valuable lessons after all this time. 😊
