Paper Mache Ice Dragon

[@papercrow8599]

I actually created my own dragon sculpture after binge watching your videos for a while....I am not entirely satisfied with it, but I think for my first paper mache things it turned out really well. I had some massive issues with my glue, it did not stick properly on cloth, and the paper mache itself was really hard to put into place...it was really not the easiest. But thank you for making those videos! I love to watch them!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

It does take some practice. Give it another go! You'll be pleasantly surprised.

[@indoyt1402]

Paper Crow same the paper kept falling off tho every time I painted it

[@Gourmetpapermache]

@@indoyt1402 I don't paint any paper. After sculpting with the paper mache parts, I add a "skin" of cloth (old bed sheets) and white glue. The glue is all purpose Elmer's or PVA or wood glue. Painting directly on paper mache with water based paint will undermine the mache. The paper will get wet and the paste will dissolve. That is what was happening to you I would guess.

Where do u get the teeth from, would loveee to try to make one

[@candycannibal9320]

The people who dislike this vid are just jealous they can’t do what he can...

[@Gourmetpapermache]

So far there is only one thumbs down. So I'm not bothered at all. This isn't everyone's cup of tea. Thank you for your nice comment!

[@candycannibal9320]

GourmetPaperMache omg u responded, I’m super happy now, has good day owo

[@sheilahill7469]

There's always a "hater" lurking around in the shadows...argh...

[@Gourmetpapermache]

@@sheilahill7469 You are very kind Sheila. It's okay. I'm not bothered by the thumbs down at all. The internet is a strange place. When I don't like something I just click out. But that's me. Some people get mad because the time-lapse is too fast (even though you can watch it at slower speeds using the settings in the lower right hand of the video). But I have such an overwhelmingly good response, I'm very happy. Take care Dan

It's been ages since you last posted! But the wait was worth it :)

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Thank you. I know people would like to see me post more often. But these projects take a lot of time to make. This dragon took three months to make and then I had to edit over 100 videos for this little 3 minute video. Just had to say. But I appreciate very much that you enjoy them.

[@Mountlougallops]

When I was about 3 or 4 years old, I remember seeing a big beautiful papier-mâché dragon on a college campus. I remember my mother telling me it was for a play that they were advertising. Watching you create this dragon brought back to that memory from nearly 60 years ago. You obviously have a passion for the subject. I like the addition of resin horns. 😎

[@Gourmetpapermache]

Glad I was able to resurrect a nice memory for you. Thanks for the nice remarks Linda!

[@alteredexistence4115]

I absolutely love the way you incorporated the resin "crystalline" structure and the LED's....the dragon alone is amazing but they take it to a whole other level...well done as usual!!!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

So glad you like this one! Yes, I needed to make horns and teeth that looked like ice before proceeding with this project. I think it worked well. So I appreciate you noticing! Take care

[@duro3666]

Wow, it actually looks like a dragon i've drawn like 5 years ago, same color, same element, about the same head. This is brilliant, you're a master of art!

[@Gourmetpapermache]

[@alder6717]

Whenever you make dragon heads, I get the vibe of mounted trophies/spoils. So I see it as you being a mighty dragon hunter, with many heads adorning your walls.

[@Gourmetpapermache]

That's pretty funny. To tell you the truth I'm about the furthest thing you can get from a hunter. I'm a vegetarian. I would never hurt any animal consciously even a dragon (if they were real). Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!.
