This is one of the favorites I have made so far. I feel so silly but I love making paper mache. My pencil is 15 inches long.

Paper Mache Crow
I am finally calling this guy finished. He is a Crow Raven (well, which is he?) dressed in overalls with a red and white checkered shirt. He was made from an empty Taster's Choice Coffee container along with newspaper and cardboard. I made paste from flour and water and used plaster cloth as well. You can barely see his eyes but he DOES have some. They are gray.

Paper Mache Projects
I finished another paper mache cow with sunglasses. He started with a milk carton and cut paper tubes for the legs. The face was formed with crumpled newspaper. The tail and ears were made with cut out cardboard. They were attached to the other parts of the body with masking tape and plaster cloth. It was then covered with paper mache using newspaper and homemade paste. He's painted with acrylic paint.
These are some of the other projects I am working on. From left to right: a chicken, dog, crow in overalls, goddess of creativity, pencil and lawn bowling woman, and in front, a paint brush.

eVERY Day Matters - Draw something that needs fixing
This always needs fixing. Just when we think we are done, something else goes wrong.Friday, April 11, 2008
Figure Drawing group
This group meets once a month and I have missed a few months. It was so nice to be back with them, drawing, painting and talking about ART. I only sketched in my sketchbook and I am only posting sketches with NO FRONTAL NUDITY so I won't be X RATED!

Everyday Matters - Draw a camera
EDM challenge 164 is draw a camera. Um . . . it's not really smaller on one side. I guess I got distracted watching the Olympic torch walking while I was drawing. Lamy Safari and walnut ink.Tuesday, April 08, 2008
North County Society of Fine Arts Paint Out
The NCSFA paint out was at San Luis Rey Mission in Oceanside. There were 6 artists there. It was pretty cold when we got there so I didn't feel too much like painting. I did sketches. Most of the artists worked in watercolor and one worked in pen and ink and another in pastel. There was some pretty nice work . . . I wish I would have taken pictures of some of their artwork.
These are some of the artists painting and sketching.
Some people stopped to look at the art.
These are my sketches I scanned when I got home. The paper in this sketchbook is VERY thin. I don't like the sketches.
This is the front of the church. the person standing in front told my friend she couldn't go in unless she paid the museum fee. I think they should let people in the church. It's a church for heaven's sake. (that's a funny play on words) She let some school children in then locked the doors.

Paper Mache Horse
This is the paper mache horse I helped my neighbor with. Neely did a paper mache horse showing the skeletal system and muscles for her 8th grade project.
First we made a wire form with chicken wire.
Then we covered it with plaster cloth.
Neely painted the muscles and skeletal system herself. These pics are from presentation night.
