It was fun for Kathy to get to California and work on her Wolf mask with Liz. Kathy loves craft projects but they are even more fun when done with someone else. When we went to Rochester the last time Kathy and Jo Anne worked on dolls, down in the finished basement sewing together. Here Kathy and Liz are set up on the dining room table.
This is the second stage of the process, where they are using "shop towels" which are heavier and are blue colored, along with a paste made from Elmer's glue and I believe some plaster of paris mixed in. So the paste is applied by brush and then the towel is applied and another coat of paste over it.
You can begin to see the wolf's outline better now that it is nearly completely covered in blue towel paper.
Here they are working together on each of their wolf heads.
And at the end of the day, here are both wolf heads, further along in the construction process. Stay tuned.
Enjoy watching the progress. Never thought of blue paper towels that are so strong. Used to think of paper mache using newspapers which gets messy with black ink everywhere.

The wolf mask is so unique. Can’t wait to see the final result. Betsey
ReplyDeleteInteresting to watch the progression. Nice to see photos of Aunt Kate and Liz together. Nice they could spend time together doing this project. Trace
