Paper Mache Ice Dragon – a little cloth mache before the horns

Okay, I know I said I’d do horns next.  But I decided I wanted a layer of cloth skin on the head first.    It would be a much better surface for using hot glue to apply the horns.   So a quick cloth mache on the face.


I always fold the cloth to use for eyelids.  I usually do under the eyes first.

Then over.  The nice thing about wrapping eyes with the cloth is that wrinkles occur naturally adding a touch of realism.

I fold a long strip of cloth for lips, then fill in above them with pieces of cloth.

I push a large square piece of cloth into the nose and piddle around until I get the shape of nostril I like.

I’m very happy with the way the eyes look with the lights off.  The clear cast resin with irises and pupil ground from the back with a Drumel have a nice look to them.

Okay, horns next.  I promise.
