hi I love your techniques, do you sale your work through KZhead?
you are so awesome
what kind of paper do yall use to print the patern?
I don't know if you know this little tidbit; when the elephant's trunk is down; that is bad luck. When the trunk is up; that is good luck. Just thought you might want to know that. I love your baby elephant.
+Barb Brown Hi Barb. I'd heard about that, but is it true for both African and Indian elephants? The trunk on this fellow can be turned upwards, but then he'd stick out a long way from the wall, and in my little house I'd keep running into him. ;)
I really need to thank you for you videos!!! I was task to make prop for the church kids summer production of the lion king the hyena's will work great just waiting for the giraffe to post but thank you and blessing to you.
+Lana Robin I made a pumba this year for Lion King. Now I can't stop paper maching. lol
love you so much
Fantastic
Thanks,
Amazing
Thanks.
Love u dear.
On my last reindeer model, I used plaster bandage over the paper/carton base. This gave strength to the fragile structure. Especially at the base of the horns. My home made paper paste is not so smooth as yours. I have to check the recept. Why not use plaster?
Do you mean using plaster in the paste? I do, when I make paper mache using blue shop towels. It dries hard if you really soak the towels well with the paste, and even brush extra paste on top.
Muy bueno
Thank you.
What do you use on the BACK of your sculptures for HANGING them? Any suggestions...I am having a hard time finding anything that shows this part of the process for making sure things you hang are secure from the BACK of the sculpture...PLEASE HELP...THANK YOU!!
Hi Spark. There's a pattern piece for the back. Did you find it? I have two ways to hang my wall sculptures. The easy way is to drill a hole in the back piece, about an inch from the top. Then I slip the hole over a nail, and call it good. Another way is to attach it to a wall plaque using a good epoxy glue. To make sure the back piece stays flat, don't cover it, except for the very edges, with paper mache. Then glue it to your wooden plaque. I hope this helps.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! HELPS A LOT!! ♥
Hola, amiga esta muy bonito el trabajo, pero es necesario la explicación en el idioma castellano. Le agradezco lo que pueda hacer para su traducción.

Is it safe to use joint compound in my air-dry clay?
I'm not sure what you mean by "safe." Do you mean is it edible? The answer would be no. If you sand it after it dries, you need to use a dust mask, but you always need to do that when you sand, anyway.
I was just wondering, if it touches your skin for prolong periods with their be any harmful affects from using it in your clay mixture? By the way, thanks for responding.
Hi Jonny, i would like to pay for the print out for a larger elephant head mantle, with tusks and a more serious look. Can you help me with that?
Hi Josephine. I don't make patterns on commission - they each take over a month to create, and I really don't have the time. However, many people have used this pattern and altered the shapes by printing it larger, and adding tusks made with crumpled foil and masking tape. The expression can be changed with the foil, too, before adding your paper mache.
+Samantha Geelal I use Silo for the design process, and then move it to Pepakura to turn it into a papercraft pattern. They both cost money, unfortunately, although there may be free versions that I don't know about.

Is it possible if you can make this for me and send it to the UK would love to put this in my living room
No, sorry. Why don't you get the pattern and have a local artist or craftsperson make one for you, if you don't want to make it yourself?
Can you prepare no flour paper mache and store it? If so how long may you do so?
I don't know how long it will keep. Someone told me that she made some paper mache clay without flour and it kept for a year, but I don't know if she kept it in the freezer or not. Without the flour there would be no yeast, and it's yeast that makes paper mache paste smell bad after a few days. If you do some experiments with it, let us know how long it keeps.
I was told by someone who collected every form of elephant; that if the trunk wasn't turned upward it was bad luck. So if it just pertained to one type of elephant or not; I know not. You said you run into it; maybe if you put the trunk up over the head as far as you can. Maybe then you wouldn't hit it. Just an idea.
I made clay using paper shreds and it just is not nearly as smooth. Any hints for making it better?
I don't know it it's possible to get it as smooth as the toilet paper. Some people soak the recycled paper overnight, and then throw it in the blender with plenty of water. But it will still have a lot of texture. You could also try using less paper - it will still be quite strong if you use less.
what program you use to get the 3d pattern there are alot of animals i want to do but you haven't made them yet i'm sorry but i cant buy ur book i dont have a credit card
Hi Jonni, I love your Hyena mask, how do you make the giraffe
uselessplace2 I have a tutorial out on my blog - no video. And there's a guest post on the blog showing how someone make a very large full-bodied giraffe, too. Go to my blog and do a search for the term giraffe, and you'll find them. www.UltimatePaperMache.com
Where can I get the metal sheets in the foundation of the elephant?
I didn't use any metal sheets. The elephant is made with card stock.
good

Thanks for your videos. I was wondering if it’s possible to combine 2 of your ideas together. Making the elephant a headrest mask like the lions
Quite a few people have used the elephant head in theater productions, but each person does it a different way. He's too big for the headdress, though, and the actor wouldn't be able to see out. Jenny, one of my blog readers, printed the pattern a lot larger and made it out of EVA foam. It will be worn by two people, I think, after the back end is done. We haven't seen how it looks when it's finished, though. You can see it here: www.ultimatepapermache.com/elephant-head-eva-foam
hi I love your techniques, do you sale your work through KZhead?
what kind of paper do yall use to print the patern?
I use card stock. You can find sheets of it at an office supply store. It's the paper that's used to print business cards.
