Paper Mache


The turtle, cat and dog were made using Paper Mache.  The car is a stock peddle car.  I decided to attached the peddle car to the wall since I am running out of floor space.
 
Since I was planning to attached the peddle car to a wall, I used an internal steel frame to support the animals.  I also like to add support to the thin members like the dog’s ears and the cat tail by embedding steel rods.  That way I do not have to worry about them breaking off.  
 
The initial coating was done by the traditional Paper Mache methods.  The final coat was cloth fabric with white Elmer glue.  I like the hard surface from using fabric and glue.
