I have, for years, coveted my friends' papier mache clock from Brighton. So, I decided that DT was the perfect opportunity to make my own. We're meant to be making a model, but I've decided to go on and make the whole thing.
I was really pleased that I quickly sussed how to construct it. (Something that completely eluded me when I tried once before).
Styrofoam is a really useful modelling material, especially as you can PVA or papier mache over it. I was also pleased with how I solved the issue of my umbrella bit. I tried card first but felt that was too rigid. So I then constructed it out of florists wire and newspaper.
This is how it's looking so far. Fingers crossed it goes well.
But I must remember not to use week old wallpaper paste in future. If it looks too watery, like it probably no longer contains any glue; it is too watery and doesn't contain any glue. I think this is all being held together by dried water alone!
