Paper Mache Creature Interrupted, Day 30 Creatures

I came home to paper mache strewn throughout the house. Buffy tore apart my creature which was made with shredded paper, flour and water.

Her paws and face were covered with flour paste, she had a good time























We cleaned up the dog, gathered the bits and I formed a hulking troll with the salvageable mix. The armature was destroyed and I didn't care to rebuild it.

The sculpture was solid and wasn't going to dry easily so I placed it on a cookie cooling racking over a floor heat vent. After it dried, I sealed the it with Gesso and painted it with acrylic paints.

Baby Graboid Day 10 Creatures

I had this worm like creature at the table, drying while watching people eat. Everyone kept saying "that's really creepy." so I call it a success. The blind eye sockets and gaping mouth make him a little threatening.

This is the last of the infamous Prang air dry clay. I'll paint him when he dries fully but he's cracking and wrinkling already. The surface flaws work for the subject so all is well.

Driftwood Monster Sculpture Day 7 Creatures

This bird like beast is totally recycled. The knob eyes came off the bathroom cabinets, the driftwood came from assorted beaches and the white clay was given to me by someone who no longer had a use for it.

Prang air dry clay dries extremely hard but until then is rather smelly and is difficult to work with. The clay is soft at first but it wants to layer and crack. I was unable to get the finer detail that can be achieved from polymer clays or real clay.

I still have an unopened package of the clay so I'll be giving it another shot only because I don't have a receipt to return it to the store.
