What an awesome article this is! Papier Mache' Firdemu

Thank you Leaflin for sharing Firdemu with us!

I know how much you have put into him, and I just love him to pieces!

Reading this makes me think, hey I might try paper mache sometime after all! LOL!

Thanks again Leaflin for all your hard work!

Thank You Ivy

Maybe it is time for a "Papier Mache' Project".
I've been thinking about starting one up in here for several years now!

Thank you once again for putting up with me bugging you to do this demo

You put together a wonderful article that many are going to enjoy.

I think a papier mache project would be great. Now that we are 25o above normal for this time of year, it hit 101 today, this would be a great time for such a project that needs drying between applications. Go for it, gal! Set one up, and I will join in

OK I'll give it a shot!
Just give me a bit of time to get my thoughts together and I'll create a project for us.
I haven't started one up in over a year!
May need to jar the old memory

Leaflin-

That was great!!! I checked out the project. Lots of time in the job. Good job! The funny thing is that many years ago, my wife wanted me to make a Blue Herron. I was going to the process of using some kind of materials. I started with paper for the design. I was not sure what to use. I worked with metal, paper and anything else I had. It was a flop!! The materials you used was great! Do not know if I will go to that again but the ideas are solid. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Jaef and Li

It amazing where ideas come from.
I was in Wal-Mart yesterday (in the kids pool section).
They had some huge sturdy beach balls that would make great 'critter' bodies.
There were also these long bendable styrofoam things that kids hit each other with in the water that would make wonderful legs.
Gotta get me some of them

Enjoyed your article very much! Your firdmu is wonderful!

I did some papier mache bowls about 25 years ago ... they're still kicking around somewhere ... this is a new inspiration though ... may start tearing up paper soon, thanks to you!
