Wire mesh and paper mashe

So again we had to do structures resembling oure life drawings using chicken wire thing and after it would be coverd with newspapers strips using pva glue mixed with water and then coverd with paper mesh to fill the negative space. I made my to be a stretched skull with horns that resembles arms resting on the hips which ended up looking like ram skull. I did that by forming the wire wearing Kevlar gloves and sleeves to protect my self from cunt and google's to protect my eyes i formed the skull and then the arms tyed it together with bits of stocking out wire are ale pointed to inside of the structure. Then i took newspapers and ripped them in small stripes so it can be applied and stick to the structure by PVA glue it had to had two layers so the paper mesh wouldn't fall through it after i had applied the paper it had to dry out and then to make paper mesh i had to pour some water to a bucket and ripped lots of newspapers to little bits until the water is absorbed by it and then had to add glue and mix it and it's done. I had to apply thin layer of it to the structure and then wait for it to dry before i could do the other side of it. It came out surprisingly well so i decided that i will mouth it on the shield i made previous. by poking wire thru the paper and raping it around the frame and and tired it in serval places around the shield then put some hot glue around the sharp bits 




fail peace
