This is a very short note – but I wanted to make sure you check out the latest post on Erica Takacs’ blog. She has some great step-by-step photos showing how she made an armature for her latest paper mache sculpture. Her little paper mache man has long legs, a round little body, and incredible detail on the face. Her artwork is a real inspiration.
I can imagine her armature idea being used to make a Santa – long legs, tubby tummy…
Anyway, go check it out. And sign up for her newsletter so you don’t miss any of her posts.

Hi Jonni, thank you very much for the link to my blog. I was surprised by the unusually high traffic, until I noticed the source, your site! I have to try your clay recipe, sounds and looks great!
This flamingo was made for my daughter.
it measures just under 6′ which is stil taller then her. for the amount of material I used between gluing periods this took roughly 3 weeks to finish. to keep the cats from knocking it over it sets in her corner with a hidden wire attached to the wall. SHE JUST LOVES IT! You can also see more paper mache pics on my facebook.
Wow. I can see why your daughter loves it. Very nice.
