eternal love..part two

'' eternal love..'' is more complex and challenging than I planned! I don't want to give details yet as not to give away the finished idea! I'm now working on the bottom part of the mannequin. I was planning on using chicken wire to make the body longer, but the store was out so I had to substitute with thin wire. The next step is one I'm really excited about. I will be using fabric instead of newsprint to finish the body. This will also reinforce it. I've been researching on different ways to paper mache and found this to be super exiting!!

I've been working on this little painting as well.

 I usually don't like to work on several projects at the same time, but with paper mache you have to wait for each layer to dry completely before continuing. and waiting around is not me!  I had bought this two inch deep frame and this is what I made...

I love working on smaller paintings. This one is 8.5'' x 8.5''.
