My Creatures
They come in all shapes and sizes.
They are fun to make but do take rather a long time! Some, like ‘the Grinch and Dobby’ are characters from books. Others, like ET from films. But many, like ‘Thing’ just evolved. I didn’t have a character in mind when I started to make him. He just kind of ‘evolved’ . All have a aluminium foil base. This is moulded into shape like clay . Then it is covered with masking tape followed by papier-mâché . When dry I give the model a coat of Geso and finally acrylic paint and Plastispray to protect.
Watch how I made this critter.
I am available for workshops and demonstrations.

Who loves ET?
Everyone I guess!
ET was my first large papier-mâché sculpture and, apart from a few days when he has graced the steps outside, he is part of the family with his own special place in our kitchen.
