Ultimate Paper Mache | Sanding And Painting The Stargazer Man Made with Paper Mache Clay @UltimatePaperMache | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 8 minutes ago.
The Stargazer Man is based on the face of a stargazer fish, so, naturally, he's weird. But I'm starting to like him. The faux bronze paint helped. Sanding him helped, too.
I never sand paper mache clay, but I was in a real hurry when I made him, and I got sloppy.
