I got the idea of letting people see my project as I went along when I saw <a href="http://mario-live.com/blog/" rel="nofollow">Mario</a> showing people his Tin Tin bust, which he made using the instructions on this site. I decided that if he could do it, so could I. However, I do admit that the other tutorials on this site are a lot less embarrasing, since I tend to tell people only what worked and leave out all the bits that I had to do over. So now everyone knows that I don't actually know what I'm doing before I start a sculpture. However, it's my strong belief that if I don't make any mistakes or have any problems during a project it means I'm not testing myself enough - and I haven't learned anything, or improved my craft. And what's the point in that? Hi Lori.

So now everyone knows that I don’t actually know what I’m doing before I start a sculpture. However, it’s my strong belief that if I don’t make any mistakes or have any problems during a project it means I’m not testing myself enough – and I haven’t learned anything, or improved my craft. And what’s the point in that?

It takes guts to let the world see your work-in-progress. I think just because paper mache is a relatively inexpensive media, it gets the undeserved reputaion of being easy--it may be cheap, but it ain't easy, especially when you take on something this difficult! I think most people really don't have any idea how time-consuming it is, either. What an ambitious project! It takes guts to let the world see your work-in-progress.
