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.

Wall Art

The heart artwork is 23 inches high by 17 inches wide.  The heart was made using 18 gauge sheet metal so I could bend it by hand.  The star artwork is 21 inches wide by 16 inches high.  The star,  round spheres, and  forged items were purchased from Kings Architectural Metals.
