Three fat funny little paper mache reindeer |
These are about the size of a can of soft drink. When I was
making these I wanted them to look like someone had just picked up a cute, fat,
funny mini reindeer by the reins and hung them on the Christmas tree. I’m
still struggling with the painting side of things. I like the lighter coloured
one the best.
Before I painted these I covered them in cloth but it was quite difficult
due to them being so small. Next time I may use something else to cover them before
I paint and I really want to practice painting some ‘surprised to be hung on a
tree’ facial expressions. Also I’m not sure I like the red ribbon I used to
make the reins so next time I may try something else for that also. My mother’s
advice about painting is to use more shades, colours of paint and adding more
layers. I have watched a few video on YouTube about painting but I still have
no idea. I will keep practicing!
these are freaking awesome!!! i want them ALL!!! gimme gimme gimme!!!! puhleeeeeeze. xxx

I love these adorable reindeer! You are so talented. The gray paint does seem to stand out more than the other two colours? I never would have thought that to be the case.
ReplyDeleteAll three are fab. Hope you make some more. I want to see what you do!
