🐰 NOTE: I now have a new Bunny Mask pattern for paper mache. You can see it here: ultimatepapermache.com/bunnymask
The paper mache lop-eared bunny in this video wasn't made the way I usually sculpt with paper mache, but it can be a lot of fun. I do use clay under paper mache a lot when I make masks, because it's easy to to get the clay out of a mask after the paper mache is dry. With a complete sculpture, it can be a little more challenging, though. But this little bunny's shapes are so simple that it wasn't a problem this time. I'll be using this same method, but with slightly different materials, when I start making outdoor sculptures with the paper cement clay.
If you'd like to see how I made another lop-eared rabbit, years ago, using an armature made with crumpled paper and masking tape, click here: ultimatepapermache.com/paper-mache-bunny-sculpture
This video shows how I make the cooked flour and water paste: youtu.be/K0w82bQcnMU
And you can see my book, where I explain how to use a pattern inside an animal sculpture, here: amzn.to/1nMUO3a
If you'd like to see a mask made with clay covered with paper mache, click here: youtu.be/BBqBnrtAwUQ
The clay I'm using in the video is WED clay, available here: amzn.to/3ZB8AYI
And the Sargent Plastilina, an oil-based modeling clay that you could use instead, is available here: amzn.to/3mH2APH
If you'd like to see the patterns for the masks and sculptures behind me in the video, click here: ultimatepapermache.com/patterns
🐑 I'm working on a lamb pattern now - it should show up on that page in a few weeks, so be sure to watch for it.

Now its even easier to sculpt portraits and characters. I added some new pieces to my face-sculpting form (mannequin head) to make it easier to sculpt a face or mask thats flat on the back, and I created new pattern pieces for the neck and shoulders. With the new pieces, you can get started even faster on your next sculpture.
You can download the new pattern for my face and bust sculpting form at https://www.ultimatepapermache.com/face-sculpting-form
If you already purchased the original version, check your inbox. You should receive an email from me with the updated download link. The email is sent out automatically, so it may take a few hours to arrive. If you dont see it, check your promotions folder, or wait a few hours. If you still dont see it, let me know.
