Paper Mache Dragon Pair- latest developments
It was traumatic but I had to separate the two dragons so that I could work on them. I told them not to worry, that they would be back together soon. Once I got them apart, the first thing I did was add the wings. I draped the glue soaked sheets over the "fingers" of each dragon.
After the cloth dried I trimmed them.
I crumple small balls to use for details on the hands and feet and legs and arms. You can see the knuckles and calves I added with these balls.
Here is her foot just before the cloth mache as well as his hands and feet. Note that I decided to have her claws (and horns) to be white while his will be black.
More soon. Stay tuned.

Looking good Dan! Keep it going. I need to get back to creating some stuff again myself.

You instill such personality into every one of your creations. These two appear to be genuinely upset at being separated. I'm anxious for them to be reunited.

God Willow,
I just found a pile of comments in my junk folder. Sorry, I didn't see this one. I'm just finishing the painting now. Reuniting should come soon. Thanks for being impatient.
Hope your art work is coming along.

Hello, this is probably unconventional but I think you might consider, for extra exposure and traffic, adding your site to my ' new ' Social Directory at www.theitzone.org

Wow this project is coming along nicely! I am so impressed! I have just finished my first project and gained so much more respect for your talents because of it. You really capture the detail at an amazing level. I do have some picture to share, if you are interested. My first is of a beastie is called a Beholder. The big one I am working on now is a 10 foot dragon which I intend to cover a basketball hoop with. It's a big project, but so far so good! Thank you for the inspiration.

Hello Kerri,
Thank you for the nice comment. I was just sitting down to do another update on the pair. Check back soon.
I would love to see some photos. Always! Send them to dan@gourmetpapermache.com. It sounds like you are very busy artistically yourself. Whenever you get into the ten foot realm you are doing impressive work. Good luck with that.
Keep in touch. Send photos.
Dan

Dan (and Kerri) . . .
A ten-foot-tall paper mache dragon IS impressive. I love your work, Dan, and I would love to see Kerri's monstrumental design, too. Any chance you could post a link to it?
Thanks . . . Jacki
