Baby Paper Mache Dragon

[@BudhagRizzo]

Always a joy to watch your videos! There's someting special about when you peel off the paint from the eyes, like it's coming alive at that point. Almost magical. A true artist. Thank you!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Yes, I love that part as well. They feel finished when I do that. Thank you for pointing it out! Take care Dan

[@mattwhite4303]

GourmetPaperMache where do you buy your eyes? If you make them how?

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you. Glad you like the videos! I appreciate the note! Dan

[@Gourmetpapermache]

I buy my eyes online from taxidermy companies. You can find them all with a google search (I've used all the companies).

[@mattwhite4303]

GourmetPaperMache Thank you so much!

[@ЛюдочкиныПоделочки]

Супер!!!! У меня пока ни чего не получается.....просто обожаю драконов!!! Все в кривь да в кось.....но я у Вас учусь....спасибо за видео 😘👍👏 браво Мастеру!!!!

[@misthowl1]

Hey Dan, I'm so glad that your still completing projects! I love you channel. I'm a father of 4 and make my children's pinyatas for their birthdays. I wanted to say that your work has been an inspiration to me. I bought one of your books and used it to create the pinyata for my youngest sons birthday. All your projects turn out amazing and I hope to expand my little work shop to accommodate projects that last, instead of being beaten to peices, lol. Thank you for all that you do!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you Anthony! Yes, I made a few pinatas in my time for my daughters when they were growing up. They were fun to make, but it was indeed very hard watching them get smashed. Good luck with new projects! You definitely deserve a permanent one for yourself! Dan

[@TheSlugstoppa]

Dan. You have been away far too long. Great to see you back with another little stunner.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you as always Slugstoppa! Yes, I have a lot going on right now. I won't be gone as long next time.

[@EnchantedBlueDragon]

even if It is quite repeated I still love watching you making those dragons it just so amazing. 😁

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Yes, I know these start to look all the same. But that's because the process is the same each time. Take care Dan

[@nschase2052]

I wish I had a tenth of your talent. Really cool little dragon. I've been saving up my newspapers to take a stab at making one of the dragons heads. Am crossing my fingers that it will come up at least as recognizable. Next, have to work on making all those little teeth, claws, and spikes. Your work is amazing!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you for the nice remarks. Yes, give it a shot! I think you'll enjoy it. Trust me, you will love whatever you make. It will turn out great.

[@garybarnett2756]

Just bought your book paper mache dragons , looking forward to making a dragon. Great step by step instructions .

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Sorry, just now seeing this comment. I hope you are off to a great start! I'm happy to answer any questions! Good luck Gary!

[@Cernunnas]

Awesome job as usual Dan! By the way, I'm sorry for your loss and I hope you're coping... You're an amazing guy and I'm sure Max is happy wherever he is for the rich life you provided him.

[@phillipmerrill9755]

I have been a fan ever since receiving "The Simple Screamer" as a gift back in 1987. You, sir, are doing the world a great service. Watching your videos is very relaxing, almost soothing. You are the Bob Ross of paper mache.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Wow, the Simple Screamer, that takes me back! You are very kind Phillip. I still love doing the work. Lately I've been stuck on dragons. I'll have to make something else for a change. After I finish the dragons I'm working on of course. I really appreciate your nice remarks. Thanks again Dan

[@freak6988]

Woah. You make it all look so easy. I gotta try this for myself. All of your creations are amazing

[@Gourmetpapermache]

That is very nice of you to say! It is just practice. Thank you Freddie!

[@junis_am6125]

As always a really really good video! I like those different techniques you use for each dragon (eg for the wings/spikes and claws etc)

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you Janpunis. Glad you like this one!

Awesome job!! Thanks so much for putting out a new video. I am glad to see you are still creating wonderful projects. I am in the middle of working on my daughter's costume this year myself. (Fursuit) I really like your use of the paper clay for the scales. I am going to have to try that, I used some for making "stucco" walls in a diorama but never thought about scales or skin hmm... ideas :)

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thanks Cory! Good luck with your project!

Thank you Julie! You are very sweet.

[@WWZenaDo]

Crazy suggestion - cover the eyes with a beauty product facial mask that dries to a thin, peel-off film. That way you could pull off the paint and facial mask material with less risk of scratching the glass eyes with the metal tool.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thanks for the suggestion.

What colour do you apply and then wipe it off I mean what is the mixture ( the colour applied after over red)

[@Gourmetpapermache]

That is just black paint with water added.

[@atishprabhudesai]

@@Gourmetpapermache But what kind of paint is it fabric,poster,distemper

[@Gourmetpapermache]

@@atishprabhudesai I use all purpose, water based paint, like you would paint your house with. Nothing special.

How much time do you need to create one dragon and how much does it cost?

[@Gourmetpapermache]

This took a few months. Time and price depend upon the request.

[@fieldmarshalgaig9477]

This is actually a pretty good video. Its ruined by the fact I have to base a 45 minute art home work I don't give a crap about off it though. But seriously this is really good

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you. Sorry to hear about the homework assignment. Yes, that can ruin anything. So here's a suggestion, pretend that you got the wrong video and do your report on my "Rum and Paper Mache" video instead. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJqQo4uee5KKsLc. You could discuss the wisdom of adding Rum to a party of paper mache old people. Just a thought. Good luck with your report. Dan

[@aparecidowashington4190]

Você tem um grande talento, parabéns

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Você é muito gentil. Muito obrigado!

[@pandarenBrewmaster62]

Very nicely done! Your work inspired me to try out cloth maché myself. I've started on a piranha plant but I'm not quite sure how to do the two leafs it's got. It sort of the same like you do your dragon wings, but do you put the skin on just one side or both? I mean between the wings. Thank beforehand, and again, great video!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you. I only drape the cloth on one side, but I add strips of cloth on the back side just to cover the "fingers", the structures holding the cloth.

[@pandarenBrewmaster62]

GourmetPaperMache Ah I see, thanks for such a quick answer! If I ever finish mine I'll be sure to send you a photograph of it. Cheers from Norway

[@dannyboy1927]

Me encanta tu trabajo soy un gran fan , me encantaria seguir tus pasos aqui en donde yo vivo, podrias hacer el favor de decirme Cual es el nombre de la técnica que usas para hacer la piel del dragón más obscura y como es que la realizas, parece ser con pintura negra, que otra cosas le agregas y que tipo de pintura es?

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Hola Daniel. Mezclé el comercial "Celluclay" con pegamento blanco y papel higiénico para hacer una sustancia parecida a la masa. Lo enrollé en bolas y lo aplasté sobre el trofeo.

[@Dwornlk]

you always paint over the eyes but carefully go around all the spikes :D

[@Gourmetpapermache]

The eyes are glass, so the paint peels right off. It also comes off the Fimo, but it's more work.

[@Dwornlk]

Oh yeah but doesn't it leave scratches when you peel off the paint with the scalpel from glass?

[@Gourmetpapermache]

No, glass is very strong. It doesn't scratch easily.

[@Dwornlk]

ohh okay, makes sense. Thank you, I'm a big fan of your work :P Keep it up

[@Ana-iq7ji]

your dragons are so good that it's like they're real ( °-°)

That is very nice of you to say Ana! Thank you Dan

It is called masking tape.

[@johnnybustos3531]

[@BrittneyFreakinBruno]

Love your work! How long does it normally take you to complete a sculpture? We can really see the talent and commitment!! As a fellow artist, I know we all mess up at times; I think it would be great to see a "blooper reel" of some mishaps that may have been left out of the videos. keep up the great work

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thanks for the nice note. On some of my videos I show some radical changes I make mid-stream (my "Buddha and Jo" video really shows this). But I run out of time for most of the videos. Take care Dan

Are the wings made of paper or cloth?

[@vandanaarjun6492]

Your work is fabulous... I love it ... do you use the hot glue gun to put on the spikes ?? Does nt it burn your hand ... I have never used hot glue gun so I don’t know ... thanks in advance !!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you! Yes I do use hot glue to hold on the spikes until I add the cloth and glue skin. The glue is not very hot. It is meant for craft projects so the temperature is not very high.

[@abdalrahmanhatem527]

please what is the name of the white paper

[@Gourmetpapermache]

After sculpting with paper mache pieces I add a "skin" of cloth (bed sheets) dipped in white glue. I call the process "cloth mache."

[@lumynoxx]

And thank-you for not being dead. I was worried XD! Also your dragons are BOSS! Incase you could not tell dragons are like my favorite thing (from my user)

[@Gourmetpapermache]

I'm old, but not quite dead. I like dragons too, obvioiusly.

i was doing this technique when i was young without wire i saw a video of yours in a facebook page and i remembered the art i was doing the sculptures with paper tape but i never used fabric i hadnt thought about it when i will have time i will try it also Did you buy the fabric or it was just some old clothes?
