Paper mache Buddha with Jo

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!
I made this for a local coffee house. You can see details of this build on my blog, www.PaperMacheB.... And stop by my site for information about my paper mache techniques, www.GourmetPape.... Thank you for watching!

[@LittlePyroManiacDude]

you've gotta be the greatest papier mache artist EVER.

[@Crixe]

The way you work with paper mache is awe inspiring.

[@therustycrossbow]

I never realized what you could do with a bunch of newspaper scraps and a little spare time. You're a real inspiration.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you Rishi! That is a very nice thing to say! Dan

[@slac8506]

Dan the MAN! This makes me want to go back to doing paper mache again... and art for that matter. I love your work, Mr. Dan the Man!

[@lekitts526]

This is my favorite one of all your videos I've seen. Looks like you could sit right down next to him for a friendly chat! 👍😃

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Glad you like this LeAnne! Thank you! Dan

[@amazingsaint]

This is my favorite one so far too. He is so cute!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

amazingsaint Funny, this was very controversial. I made him for a coffee shop. Hence the cup of coffee in his hands. But some people considered that to be blasphemous because he is a Buddha. Of course he is a "Laughing Buddha" which has no historical relevance. And I think people should have a sense of humor. I think he turned out well. I appreciate that you think so too. Dan

[@Cheryl64014]

You are an AMAZING artist! Thank you so much for sharing your gift.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

For some reason I missed this comment. Sorry. Thank you so much for the nice remarks. It means a lot to me. Dan

[@Cheryl64014]

I completely understand. These comments _are_ easy to miss. Please keep up your amazing work.

[@MrBetovolador]

Gracias Dan por mostrarnos tu arte y como lo realizas , es muy inspirador para los que apenas comenzamos fueron 2:41 minutos que nos olvidamos de todo a nuestro alrededor

[@arnovanmassenhove]

Awesome work Dan !!!

[@sketchyartydoll]

@DanMonsterMan you should never be nervous you have a true gift ! and anyone that dislikes what you do has a general ignorance for art. its a true joy to watch your videos are you a youtube partner? :)

[@SeanyJonesPaperArmy]

Always fun to watch, Thanks

[@farflungfloyd]

Brilliant as always.

[@mandysanders321]

So inspirational, you made me feel warm inside of myself and I want to be like you some day..... Looks so Kwai

[@Gourmetpapermache]

You are very sweet Mandy. Thank you for the nice comment. Of course practice is key. I've been doing this for a very long time. Dan

[@GourmetPaperMache_]

Thank you very much!

[@Killa47A]

I love your work, really great.... would like to try it myself...

[@marilyn8225]

Very nice. Amazing. But I think it's to bad the video's are so short and in rewind. It would be nice if the videos where way longer so people can learn from it.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you Marilyn. KZbin watchers will not watch videos that are longer than about 2 minutes. To get in a full build requires that I use time-lapse and keep it short. I try to keep it around 3 minutes. They are meant for entertainment only. But I do have many instructional materials for people who want to learn my techniques on my website and my blog (where I show many projects made step-by-step with commentary).

[@Killa47A]

thank you, i really enjoy the videos...

[@arnovanmassenhove]

@DanMonsterMan No problem ;) All your work is awesome and i respect the time that you put in it.

[@slac8506]

Thanks Dan! I sure will! You are an inspiration. =)

Dan!! Man, so cool to see something that's not a dragon! Though.. i still love your dragons/monsters more hurr hurr hurr XD This is so Awesome :)

[@jgarin2001]

Hello Dam I'm George from Argentina, What's kind of paint you use at the end of your work, acrilic, sintetic ? Your works are fantastics!!!

[@richarddantz4256]

You're treating the paper like clay with the more detailed parts. Makes me wonder why you don't just use clay but that wouldn't exactly be paper mache. Don't get me wrong I love you're work man! There's no but :)

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Richard Dantz Thanks again Richard. I did clay for a while years ago. Clay is very unforgiving. It's brittle and you have to worry about firing. And it's very difficult to make pieces that are this size with clay. This medium, in contrast, is very forgiving. You can easily fix things or change course in the middle of a project. And you can make pretty large pieces. Dan

[@UrbanAnglersPH]

Hi Dan, what is the yellow tape you use to connect the parts? Thanks

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Hello Papa Dirk. That is just plain masking tape.

[@XX0Angel0XX]

mhmm, pardon all the questions but how long on average does it take you to create such wonders?

[@Nogoodnikki]

Very cool

[@131Natamaru]

Trippy :) can you please do a canine?! Like a wolf, fox, or jackle?

[@Krejzol-iw8xj]

His ears is funny xD. But it's beautiful.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

they are traditional "laughing Buddha" ears. Thanks for watching.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

@chickenpop755 In fact this is Budai (Laughing Buddha), often confused with Guatama Buddha, but a totally different story. There is no such thing as an "american buddha".

[@thitiboat]

Dan, can you list me all the materials to do paper mache? cuz' I appreciated your works and I want to make an easy one. :)

[@AshTheObscure]

I don't understand why they see the god Buddah as a fat man, when all reality he was a very very skinny prince.

[@Girlygirlemc]

That's actually a chinese Laughing Buddha, or a Budai. It is DEFINITELY not Western. Its image has been used hundreds of years before America was even formed. You shouldn't criticize this artist when you have no idea what you're talking about yourself.

[@jonnycatland1987]

What brand of paint do you use?

[@Gourmetpapermache]

jonnycatland1987 I just use all purpose paint. I buy it at the hardware store. No particular brand. Anything you can paint your house with I guess.Dan

[@richarddantz4256]

Oh yes I understand. I dont mean why didnt you use clay for THIS project I meant you clay sculpting in general. Now I'm ramblin sorry. My point is that my point is futile. You did this with some paper. You are a badass my friend.

thats realy cool bro wish you the best of luck

[@mallardhead]

@DanMonsterMan LOL ... guess if you're a paper mache being you don't need that ...

[@DanceBoyYeah]

I'm sorry to bother you again. I couldn't find a better way to contact you. Is there's a way you could make a tutorial on how to make a human size hands. That will make my day 100.0% better!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Hey again. Sorry, it's not easy making tutorials. It can take weeks for me to make one of my videos. I can tell you though that I just make fingers by twisting paper around pieces of clothes hanger. I crumple balls of paper for the other part of the hand and I put it all together using masking tape. Making human sized hands is actually easier than most because you can use your own hands as models. Just hold everything up to your hand to get a sense of size. Good luck!

[@DanceBoyYeah]
