Finally got the first layer on the bookshelf!!
I have a feeling this project is going to sit on the back burner over the summer, so I'm relieved I've gotten this far.
The paper mache bookshelf I've been working on has the first layer of the outside completely covered!
Next to do the shelves...
Artrocity Studio presents its latest hybrid critter, combining an Australian sugar glider (a marsupial similar to a flying squirrel) and a Guernsey cow to make...a cream-and-sugar glider.
I imagine someone on a deck, reading a book when a large shadow passes over them. As the person looks up, a 1,000 pound creature forcefully lands on the lawn and starts grazing...
Paper mache, wire, glass beads for the eyes; acrylic paint and fixer.
Artrocity Studio presents the second of a series of "flying fish": a pufferfish hot air balloon. It will be part a future mobile of various light-than-air fishes.
Balloon, paper mache, marbles (eyes), cardboard (gondola), and over 400 toothpick tips for the pufferfish spikes. Acrylic paint and fixer.
Artrocity Studio presents the first of a series of "flying fish": a clownfish derigible. It will be part a future mobile of various light-than-air fishes.
Paper mache fish body, plastic bits from eye drops (engines), plastic bits from flossers (engine strut/extender); acrylic paint and fixer.
I've posted some of this New Orleans artist's work before, but everything he does blows my mind. His latest blog post describes a relief sculpture he did for a wedding in so much detail, it's really amazing to see it come together

I've gathered up some momentum with my paper mache bookshelf project and, I've got a first layer on two sides, as well as the front.
Beginning to think about what color I want it to be...
Stuck und Lampen aus Pappe fins ich ja sehr geil.
I make stuff out of junk, and it’s fun but there’s too much of it in my house, and people have said “You should sell those” so I have a Ko-fi page now. https://ko-fi.com/marence/shop

‘The Quantum String Dispensor’, mixed media assemblage: paper maché mask, small bird’s nest. My grandparents used to have a string dispensor on their kitchen wall. String dispensers were small round faces with holes in the mouth where you could pull the string from. Tape was expensive and plastic bags hadn’t been invented when they were young. This piece isn’t mounted on a stretched canvas yet, thinking a round one might be best.
