So I started making the paper mache part of the project - Joan of Arc's "armor" - in other words, modern day drag queens' armor.
I used two spherical glass vases and laid them side by side on sheets of newspaper. Using instant mache, which came in a weird powdery, dusty, mothball like substance, I added water and it became a bit like clay. I then molded it around the spheres.
Tomorrow in class I'll be adding 3D paint, so it's kind of like clay but comes in a squeeze tube and dries puffy and thee dimensional. Using this substance I'll be adding designs and details.
Later on I'll spray paint the entire project and do the detail work in either acrylic or markers.
Then I'll need to find white fabric in order to make a suit.
The entire thing is unfortunately still drying so I'm not sure if it can make an appearance in tomorrow's class. If not, then I'll be either sewing or planning out the designs on the piece.
