New Paper Mache Red Dragon!

Okay, so KZbin is now putting ads on my videos without my permission. Please, just refresh quickly until you get just the video. Here is my red dragon. I have lost track of this piece. If you know where it landed I would very much appreciate knowing. Visit me at www.GourmetPape... or www.PaperMacheB.... Thanks for watching!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

@@tommycrutchfield8422 Hi Tommy. Thank you for your note. Sometimes life gets in the way of art. That's what happened to me over the last year. Just lots of life stuff to do. Then I started a very ambitious art project, one that I've wanted to do for a long time. But it became clear that I wasn't going to get it done for a very long time. So I put that on the back burner once again and have since started a new project. I am underway and should have something to show in the next few weeks. I appreciate your concern. Hope all is well with you. Dan

You just got a new subscriber. Wonderful work. The only paper mache I ever have done was in 1st or 2nd grade and we made maracas with a light bulb core after the paper dried ( water & flour ) we smacked them on the table till the glass broke inside, so they made noise, then painted them. Funny that I still remember that. That was eons ago. I may try something a little more challenging...lol

Hi! Me and my room mate have been wanting to attempt doing paper mache projects for a variety of things, (especially masks and costume armor) and I saw your mask tutorial and it helped understand so much! I found you through a paper mache forum community and all I heard was praise of your work so I went to see for myself, and I'm super happy I found your channel, its helped understand a good process of how you approach it. I did have a few questions if you know the answers: Do you feel like your finished project is safe to have outside when its done, ex. Like armor and masks in humid places or light rain weather? And if not do you have any suggestions of what might be a good top coat to protect it? I've heard a mix of people saying painting on a layer of glue or just using spray paint finisher/coverage to help, and wanted to know if you have any experience/preference in those regards. Either way, thank you so much for your videos, it's helped out my planning so much!! Super excited to start!

[@ОлдИн]

Hello!(im russian) please, translated your tekst! I am very interested in English!I know a little of your language. By the way I'm waiting for the new video to come out.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Hello Luna. Thanks for the nice comment! Paper absorbs moisture from the air. There is very little you can do to a paper mache project to make it weatherproof. Eventually it will decompose no matter what you do. Adding layers of spray finishers will help, but it will also change the way the project looks. Having said that, you can make them to last for light rain and short term uses outdoors. Just make sure you use exterior grade paints. You can also use exterior grade glue instead of whatever paste you use in the paper mache process. That will basically impregnate the paper with plastic. But it is expensive, about $50 a gallon. Good luck to you!

These videos are awesome! The only good instructional content on paper mache I've found. I have two questions: what do you use for paste? and how do you get your paper mache to be so smooth?

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you Aaron! The time lapse videos are more for entertainment. My blog (link in description) is a lot better for instruction. I usually use flour and water (in about equal measure) paste with the newspaper for the paper mache pieces. After sculpting with those pieces (using masking tape) I add a "skin" of cloth, old bed sheets dipped in white glue. I prefer Elmer's Glue All for the "cloth mache." Good luck! Dan

I'm not sure if you'll read this but I was wondering how you actually got the teeth to stay in? I've been working on a Paper Mache mask for a local Festival, but I'm afraid the clay teeth will fall out of the mask if I just hot glue them due to the excess movement when i'm using the mask. Do you know of a way to make sure the teeth are sturdy and won't fall out? I've tried looking for an answer elsewhere, but I never found one.

I first hot glue the teeth to the paper mache shell. Then I add the "cloth mache" strips on either side. You can see that in the video. That process will insure that the teeth stay put. Good luck!

Love to see you work, Mr. Reeder. I just bought a couple of your older books (which have become difficult to source) and I can't wait to share them with my kids. My brother and I have simple Screamers from LHES somewhere in Bellevue. Do you still have some of your older works? The more satirical and comical pieces? I think it would be fun to see those again.

Hello Leo! What a nice surprise! So glad to hear from you! For some reason I have settled into dragons for a while. I have a couple other, non dragon projects to get to. Your comment makes me think I need to get to them. Sounds like things are well with you. Kids! I'd just had mine when I worked at LH. Congratulations.

He puts a bunch of newspaper together into a preferred shape and then uses masking tape to set the shape. Is he covering it then in plastic wrap before the paper mache process? I cant tell its so fast..ANYONE?

This is time-lapse so that the entire build can be shown in three minutes. The videos are for entertainment. You can find instructions on my methods at my website and blog (links under the video). Yes, I do sculpt with paper mache pieces using masking tape. Then I add a "skin" of cloth (old bed sheets) dipped in white glue, like Elmer's. That makes the project very strong and allows for a lot of detail.
