Rum and Paper Mache

Okay, so KZbin is now putting ads on my videos without my permission. Please, skip it if you can, close your eyes if you can't, and NEVER purchase a product advertised on this video!
Ever wonder what your marionettes do when you aren't around? Watch and see! Thank you to the band Alpha (Corin, Dingley) and Westbury Music LTD for letting me use the song, "Rum" (from the album "Lost in a Garden of Clouds", 2006). Visit GourmetPaperMache.com or PaperMacheBlog.com for more information. Note: This video has adult-like themes (freak dancing)(well yeh, and the rum)!

[@bubula]

OK Wow.. This is very creative, clever, thought out, and seen through. Most of all it is just plain fun... its so hard to finish such a large project. You dreamed it, created it , set it up, and then produced an awesome video.. the time on that alone.. Thanks so much for inspiring others and sharing your talent.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you Mo! I really appreciate your kind remarks. Yes, this was a very long, involved project. But I really enjoyed it. I have another video in mind with marionettes. I just need to find some time. Take care Dan

[@alicg7759]

Ah yes, the Easter bunny, the tooth fairy and everyones favourite the rum dragon ;D Coming to a party near you.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Exactly! Thank you again. Dan

[@patricksherman9717]

Very nice ! I have watched this video at least 25 times now. I like how the time on the Grandfather clock changes.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thanks Sara! You are the first to notice the clock changing! I'm very happy you like the video. It was by far the hardest one to make! Take care Dan

[@lindarogers8994]

I want some of what they're drinking. Excellent, so clever and so funny. Love it.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you Linda! It may not be my most popular video, but it is my favorite. I hope to make another marionette video soon. Take care

[@FrilledMayfly_AmberlyFerrule]

Courage the cowardly dog show in an alternate reality

[@veronicamendoza998]

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+veronica mendoza Thank you Veronica! This was by far the hardest, but most fun video to make. Glad you like it! Dan

[@ahniton]

Great job Dan thanks for shareing it with us!!

[@Waqulah]

You always bring out the kid one Dan. Thank you so getting for sharing your wonderful creations!

[@everafterinkable]

So entertaining. And the humor I enjoy your vids for. Lol. I've watched them all but keep going back. I've said it before and will say it again, you are the man Dan

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+everafterinkable Well what a nice comment! Thank you so much! I'm been working for days and days on my latest. Sometimes it feels like just too much work. But getting a note like this makes it all worth while. Truly. I should have my next one done fairly soon. Take care Dan

[@accentone]

Once again great job Dan! Can't wait for the next one!

[@danielaucelli4768]

I love all your work, is wonderful!!!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you Daniela! That is very nice of you to say. Dan

[@Green232323232]

So good! I watch all your videos and this is one of your best. Thanks for sharing these!

[@MEgirlfarfromhome]

Thank you interwebs... nearly 10 years old, how did I miss this? Made my day, possibly week.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

That's very nice of you to say girl far from home! I really appreciate the comment. Take care Dan

[@BuggleBuster]

Magical as allways Dan, thank you for your effort and for shareing it with us :) (Merry Christmas for yesterday!)

[@jhonny1392]

You are a Genius, man !. Or even better, the perfect mix between an *Artist* and a *Genius*. My sincerely congratulations for your splendid skills. Cheers John from Chile.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Hello Jhonny. Sorry, I somehow missed this comment! Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm very happy that you like this video. Dan

[@mingus107]

AMAZING!!! The detail is incredible- the gums of the mouths, skin texture- the clock changing! whenever I watch your vidoes, I wait for the eye reveal- my favorite part! Momma riding the dragon- priceless! Thank you for the inspiration, Dan!!!

[@origamipotato]

Instant favorite right here! Always keeping me amused and mesmerized by your work. Just fantastic! Thanks for sharing your awesome work! :D

[@Yknotdostuff]

WHAT A BLAST!! So great. Thank you!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

You are very welcome! I appreciate the comment since this was my favorite video to make! Take care Dan

[@saramonroestudios]

This is one of the most amazing videos! I just stumbled across your website tonight and watched all of your tutorials and then this .... AWESOME!!! Well done!!!!!

[@EdgarMezak]

The perfect soundtrack for this video. Excellent characters. You are done.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you Edgar! Of course I built the video around the piece of music. When I first heard the music I wanted to make the video. It actually took me two years to secure the rights to use the music. I'm glad you appreciate the work involved. Take care Dan

[@comedy4therapy]

It's so great what you create! I am allways coming back to look what you made new and now I give you an abo! Thanks for showing so nice vids!

[@Feeoryne]

I said this before and I say it again!! You are an amazing amusing genius! Thanks again for sharing!!!

[@1030ma]

I have no idea what I just watched but I want more! I love your work!!, I'm just starting out in paper mache myself.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Glad you liked the video Maria! Thanks for the nice note. Good luck to you! Dan

[@Xcqtr]

I've been watching your videos from quite some time now and you have inspired me to take an entrepreneurial journey using this technique and apply it to the traditional Mexican Piñata. I know that may be a sad end for your creations but I can see the face of the kids slaying a dragon instead of the same old boring piñatas. Thank you!

[@ParodiaderaCanalOficial]

explendid!! so much creative

[@Nogoodnikki]

That like always was great. Loved the strange dance party

[@ChaosFox0]

You never cease to amaze! This was brilliant! *runs off to make marionettes, now.*

[@sonystergates]

you great, man i love and respect your talent

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you very much Son! I really appreciate the note! Dan

[@75tamster]

Dan your humor and talent are so fun to watch :)

[@mo010120]

I love it! And what a monsterous lot of work! Thank you so much for sharing! Merry christmas mo from Germany

[@11skatergirl1]

This was so cute ^.^ the old man dancing with the lamp shade XD That aside, your work was beautiful! :)

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+11skatergirl1 Thank you again Skategirl! Glad you like this video Dan

[@pearl1978wagner]

I must have watched this at least 20 times lol I love this one!!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you Pearl! I'm very happy you like this video. It is the least viewed but it is my favorite. Take care! Dan

[@StickyTank]

this is horrifying 0.O

[@Gourmetpapermache]

I know...the dragon should have brought gin! Dan

[@Kiswinar]

AWESOME!!! Dan, this is just amazing! I never tired seeing your work, they're simply a feast for the eye. :D

[@artat777]

I thoughts the funniest video I have seen in a while...Busted a gut watching it.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you Art! I really appreciate you saying that! Dan

[@Bonobo3D]

The creation of these marionettes is a tremendous combination of many talents, the filming of the creation and the show is quite another. Brilliant and fun!

[@daisy3690]

well, at least they all seem to be happy drunks. The mache is great. love the time lapse. a man in the know, I think. thank you so much for sharing

[@TreadleLady]

Incredible work and fun!

[@LMEZQUIDA]

Me encanta!!! Y la puesta en escena simpatiquisima. ¡¡¡Felices Fiestas!!!

[@leighcarver6826]

holy shit man you did it! I didn't think it could be done! They SAID it couldn't be done! But you did it! You WIN! YOU WIN THE INTERNET!!! it just doesn't get any better than this! LOL THANK YOU SO MUCH😄

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+Leigh Carver You are very funny! Thank you Leigh! I really appreciate the enthusiastic comment! Dan

[@originalwillow1]

All your hard work really paid off. This video is astounding. The music is perfect, although you must be sick of it by now. The story is incredible. It must have taken forever to get the dragon to pour the rum. I know you can still see little imperfections, but I promise you, we sure cant. Thanks for making and sharing this work of art. And congratulations!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

That's a different dragon. Take care Dan

[@justanopinionsincerelynoof3860]

Omg, the dragon with the drinks made my day!

[@GourmetPaperMache_]

Thank you for the nice remarks! This was my favorite video to make. I am not a puppeteer so it was a challenge to figure out how to make them work at all. I know the video is long but the license agreement I made with the band who made the music said that I could not alter the piece in any way. Which I totally understand. The title of the music is "Rum" and was the inspiration to make the video. Take care Dan

[@elenabreshenkova]

Hahaha ... The party was a success!!! Great job!!! Thank you!!!

[@tina110271]

What a genius you are! Absolutely incredible! I hope u'll have a wonderful 2013! :-)

[@georgiabartholomew6850]

Beautiful work, cool music! Love the dragon!!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you Georgia! It was my favorite video to make. It was very hard for me. I'm not a puppeteer. And it is kind of long. But it was a requirement that I not edit the music in the terms of the licensing. (PS. It took me two years to chase down the licensing for this music. So glad you like it!)

[@jnsjoest]

I've watched all of your vids and bought your monsters book..you are freaking hilarious. I'm a little creeped out by the marionettes-dragon rave, but you're still my new hero. I'm introducing your method to my high school art class this year. Hoping to come up with some real beasts! Thanks for sharing your talents!!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you so much for the very flattering comment! I'm glad you like my work. Good luck on your projects. I'd love to see some when you are done (and/or post photos on my website). Good luck! Dan

[@DustineNannette]

What fun they are having! Not easy to do at that age, for sure. Every senior needs a pet dragon it seems! Great job and thanks for sharing once again!

[@preranapragnya8494]

commendable backstage setting with clock showing change in time

[@Gourmetpapermache]

I am not a puppeteer. This was an adventure for me. You have a good eye for detail! Thanks again!

[@jamiechenault1965]

So stinking cute and funny!! I'm amazed at your artistry!!!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

+Jamie Chenault Thank you Jamie. This was my favorite video to make. So I'm glad you like it. Dan

[@king7272777]

this is completely and utterly amazing! it really makes me want to make my sculpts include moving parts, you've really made me wanna use cloth in some of my art, i usually use paper pulp and clay.

[@sorcierenblk3000]

I wish I could own one of your dragons, I've watched this like fiddy times now, and your creations are amazing!

[@Sims3IsTheBest1]

yeah, now i can see why it took so long, but it was still worth it :) keep up the great work!!

[@shawnsmith1865]

That Was a damn trip! Loved it.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Glad you like this one. It was by far the hardest video to produce, and it is my favorite. Thanks again!

[@myoldreteacher]

LOVE this video... Love it! :D

[@Mersmovies]

What fun! I will be emailing my dad to make sure he sees it. :) Happy New Year, Dan!

[@seanthekapon8150]

Incredible!!!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Hello Pamela, That is just white bed sheets dipped in white glue. Thank you for your kind words. Dan

[@colabearrr]

Oh my gosh this is hilarious XD great job!

[@sorcierenblk3000]

Super duper Awesome!!!! I love it!! well done sir well done!

[@Isnogud67]

“Yes, but why is the rum gone ?”...Captain Jack Sparrow 😂🤣 Aaaaand, as the drinking progresses, the time on the clock goes on too...very funny and a nice, sneaky touch 😁😻

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thanks Anja! The video was inspired by the music, "Rum" by the band Alpha. I'm not a puppeteer, so this was a challenge and lots of fun to make. (It is very long, but the license I purchased wouldn't allow me to edit the music, which is understandable.)

[@Anechy29]

I laughed so hard. Really good job. Thank you.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Well that is so nice of you to say! Thank you! I know the video is long. When I bought the rights I had to agree not to edit the song. Still, it was my favorite video to make. So I'm very happy when someone likes it. Take care Dan

[@victorianladyaz1]

Loved it!

[@pearl1978wagner]

you are sooo talented!! i have shown ur video to so many people and have linked u to my facebook!! i cant wait until u do another video!! how long before another one? that was toooo funny i laughed all the way through...little stinkers got snockered!!! that wa great!! MORE PLZ!!!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you. Very glad you like this video!

[@CinnamonWillis]

OMG this is soo awesome, I love your cloth method! I want to party with them!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Just give the little dragon a call. He'll be right over! Thank you for your nice comment. Dan

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you Laura! Dan

[@missinjack12]

An artist recently commented in great certainty, that all nutty creators have to have a cat (or two) about their studio, it's the rule. I'm no exception to that rule, and I see you're not, either! I wish you many, many, many, many (lol) more happy years of creating! I thoroughly enjoy your work. I especially felt an almost kindred feeling for your large gray dragon in your studio shot. What a character! Love love love!

[@andremorales6169]

You are so ingenious!

[@GianpaoloFranzini]

perfect, thank you very much for the information! Good Job;) soon I hope soon to show you some of my work.

[@HayFlye]

Amazing!

[@willwoods222]

Best video I've ever seen

[@Gourmetpapermache]

You are very kind. It is my favorite video, so I'm very happy that you said this. Take care Dan

[@BClocals]

Merry X-mas! Great up load. I've made six monsters so far using your techniques.

[@hairlesscactus]

Excellent!!!

[@Sims3IsTheBest1]

YES! FINALLY!!! btw, i LOVE it, awesome like allways!!!! keep up the great work!! i also like how did you create this video;))))

[@RVFreeDa]

Awesome!

[@pearl1978wagner]

lol no matter how many times i watch this it always makes me laugh!! hey like the new name to Dan!!

[@cuzvscuztv6429]

They look real and epic 👍👍👍👍

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Glad you like the video! Thank you!

[@melindahahungaria5678]

Ok.So here is the thing: I started to paper mache about two weeks ago, and I just found you, two minutes ago, and I think I'm in love!!! :)

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Wow, I'm really flattered Melinda! Thank you for the nice comment! Good luck on your projects. I think you will really enjoy this medium. Let me know if you have questions. Dan

[@melindahahungaria5678]

thank you, U R a really amazing artist! :)

[@LilfoxTheHybridHylian5967]

Now this- this is Perfect

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Well you just made my day! Thank you! Out of all my videos this one was my favorite to make and the hardest. I am not a puppeteer. I know it's long but the license agreement I had with the band, Alpha, said I could not alter or shorten the piece of music. By KZbin standards it's like a full length movie! I appreciate the nice remarks. Take care Dan

[@kathy61281]

so much fun!! love this!....kathy

[@h3rison]

Omg you are so fun, haha. Nice job dude.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Herison Oliveira Thank you Herison! You are very kind. Glad you like this.Dan

[@humanoidy]

Now that’s what I call a party! Imaginative !

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you Human! I"m glad you like this one. It was my favorite to make without a doubt.

[@blissfulcreatives561]

loved it

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you very much! It's long and somewhat tedious, but it was my favorite video to make.

[@laurakorvalian3657]

Awesome art i am just amazed

Thank you Noelle.

You're the greatest puppet master.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Well you are the greatest for commenting! Thank you so much Kalyn!

[@pearl1978wagner]

oh and i love the dark butterfly to!! he is soooo detailed and i love hi wings and life like look

[@Tiff48317]

Großartig!

[@myhead1067]

*Drops handle* Old man: *Dead for almost a second* LOL

[@Gourmetpapermache]

It's funny that you would comment on that particular scene. You are the first to do that! I was so frustrated that day. I couldn't get the puppets to do what I wanted. I am not a puppeteer. I'm sure it shows. Thanks as always Head!

[@piedradavid]

Beautiful but a bit creepy.!! Whats the yellow doh u use it?

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thanks....I think. I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean about the doh. Dan

[@Family__Guy_]

As someone who has always been a fan of puppetry and Jim Henson’s works, I can honestly say that I appreciate the work you have put into this video. It was amusing, interesting, and fun. I also love the detail you put into your papier-mâché; it gives your characters the look and expressions of what I loved about the 80s (back when this talent was at a peak). Perhaps stop motion is something you could try... ? Overall, 10/10

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you very much for the nice comment! I am not a puppeteer. I did this because I wanted a challenge. And it was. Stop motion is a totally different medium. It requires something flexible, like clay. But I am a fan of stop motion artists. The Wallace and Gromit series.

[@suz009]

Wow Dan, definitely a load of work, it turned out fantastic! I was surprised that even though I subscribed, I never got a notice it was up?? Anyway, love the music choice and what a party! just so fun!! Will have to watch it several times so I don't miss anything. Really liked how this one really showed your assembly and process really well. Just loved everything about it, great job!! That Dragon was amazing, what detail on that guy!! Good grief!!

[@HildaLoraLorasgraphics]

This is awesome, the marionettes are so funny and they dance awesome, everything is perfect here!!! You are a master of paper mache.Thank you Dan for sharing it, i love it and saved to my pc. One day I'll make one funny dragon and maybe use this of yours as reference.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Hey Hilda. You are very nice to watch this! I know it is long. This video is a little strange, but it is one of my favorites. I worked very hard on it. It took six months to make. You are always very supportive. Good luck with your art. Dan

[@johanneskeil]

I like the new marionette - video. Your characters remind me on a marionette tv series about 40- 50 years ago from "Augsburger Puppenkiste" here in Germany. Celebrate christmas and in particular the new year with your "rum gang" :-)

[@vicentebrarosr.42]

fantástico!!!!!!!
