Paper Mache Animals - Easy Armature Patterns Extended Tutorial

Start sculpting your paper mache animals the easy way by using a custom-made armature pattern. Get life-like results for any animal, bird, lizard or fish you sculpt.

I wasn't the first person to think of the idea of starting a sculpture with the outline of the silhouette, but for some reason I have only found three other people who have taught the method in books or video. Sadly, these are fairly obscure references, and you probably won't find them mentioned anywhere else.

Thank you for these straightforward instructions! Fifteen years ago I saw a sculpture of a primitive horse and fell in love with it. I had over a decade of crafting skill throwing and sculpting clay but knew paper mache would be the medium best used for replicating the horse sculpture. This is so exciting!!!!
