You can create heirloom-quality animal sculptures this week, even if you have no sculpting experience at all before you read this book. Join thousands who have rediscovered their creative talent, using Jonni's revolutionary techniques and recipes.

If you've always wanted to create life-like animal sculptures, but you thought it would be too hard or too expensive, you're in for a very pleasant surprise. This book contains step-by-step instructions and over 250 photos to guide you through the enjoyable process of making animal sculptures with the author's paper mache clay recipe.

Paper mache clay can be made in just 5 minutes, using inexpensive ingredients - and it air-dries, so you won't need an oven or a kiln. There's no mess, no tedious layers of torn paper strips, and it's easy to add details and textures to your sculpture.

With the patterns included in each chapter, you'll be sculpting animals that are perfectly proportioned, right from the very start. You'll also learn to make your own patterns, so you can go on to create original sculptures of your own.

Sculpting life-like animals has never been so easy, or so much fun!

The sculpting techniques shown in this book have been used by middle school kids, university art students, theater prop-makers, and adults of all ages who have rediscovered their love for sculpting, using methods and materials that are affordable for everyone.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Jonni Good is the author of five popular books about sculpting. She's also written two cozy mystery novels that feature an eccentric small-town sculptor who lives a much more exciting life than she does.

She's the host of the popular sculpting website UltimatePaperMache.com, where she shares her innovative sculpting methods and recipes with a world-wide audience. Her goal for the blog (and her art books) is to make sculpting so easy that everyone can have fun doing it.

She lives in a friendly little town in Minnesota with her pets and a house full of animal sculptures. When she's not writing or sculpting she spends her days in her large vegetable garden, fighting the squash borers and mosquitoes and dreaming up her next book or sculpture.

So much fun!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on April 1, 2018

I can’t get over how much fun it is to create with paper mache! The book is great with clear instructions and lots of pictures. I read through all the projects and then decided to create an opinionated raven from photos and an image in my head. It was great fun and easier than I expected to build / sculpt without a premade pattern. The clay recipe worked well too; I unintentionally made mine a little on the dry side, so I just added water as I applied the clay (as directed in the helpful trouble shooting section). I would not have known where to start without this book, and now I feel like the possibilities are endless. I highly recommend this book.

Beautiful ideas, less than ideal instructions. I wish there was more information about just how to get more accurate shapes. Not suitable for beginners.

We made an actual size Emperor Penguin! -Fabulous book with great plans - non-arty person got quite good results. Kids thrilled.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 23, 2017

What a fabulous book! We wanted to make a papier mache penguin so we used a pattern and the directions in this book and people tell us we did really well. I'm not very arty but the pattern was quite easy to transfer onto squares we drew onto some foam board. It took us some weeks but we got there. Because we made an actual size penguin we had to reinforce the feet quite a bit with a LOT of layers of papier mache and we even added a bit of thin plywood for more strength. The model is going into a school so we also reinforced the beak with a bit of metal coat hanger. And for extra realism we added some real glass eyes from an lovely specialist shop in Wales. If i did this again i'd use acrylic paint for everything! Much more expensive but it goes on much better.

I should say we used the old school method of papier mache using strips of paper. In the book there is a more sophisticated method but we didn't try it.

When this book arrived my first thought was 'Oh dear' It is flimsy and cheap looking and I resigned myself to having made another Amazon boo boo.

Nowhere near, boy was I wrong!! This book is a diamond, a nugget of genius. Jonni starts out with an amazing recipe for paper mache clay, and it is amazing. What really impressed me was that she gave the UK equivelant of the American items she was using. Great, no hunting around online trying to find the same item under a different name.

After explaining ingredients and tools she moves onto her projects. No naff projects here I promise you, a fantastic pig, a folk arty type chicken, an elephant, the list goes on, Her armatures are the genius part, no bending wire, no taping up bubble wrap or balls of paper. I don't want to give it away because I think you shoudl buy this book and love it as much as I do.

Was a bit disappointed as I was looking for wild animals and got a dog a pig and a chicken but there was an elephant. I did not find it that clear but the book appears to claim that once you have used the techniques making these animals you can make any animal. To be fair I have not done this type of construction before and also went straight to the elephant as time was important. The clay is very easy to work with and I thoroughly enjoyed making the elephant but in the beginning be prepared for a little frustration.
