The author makes it easy for you to create a tiny paper mache dog of your own. You only need a few basic tools and some materials that you may already have lying around the house. The only thing you may need to purchase is a few feet of aluminum wire for the armature -- or use some wire you already have on hand.

First, choose a pattern from the 27 breeds included in the book. Then build your armature by bending the wires, using the pattern for a guide. This makes sure that your finished sculpture will have the right proportions for your breed. Add a few bits of crumpled aluminum foil to round out the forms, with the pattern guiding you, and then twist and bend your little dog into any position you desire. With these simple steps it's easy to create a lively original sculpture of your own design.

When your armature is finished, the author shows you how to make the two layers of paper mache as smooth as you want it to be. You can add wrinkles, fur, happy mouths and other details after the paper mache is dry.

If you would like to paint your dog, you can use the author's recipe for an inexpensive home-made gesso to add interesting textures. Then the author gives you suggestions for painting your sculpture, including an easy way to paint brindled spots, how to give an all-white dog an interesting coat, how to emphasize heavily-textured fur with acrylic glazing liquid, and more.

The author is a well-known paper mache artist who has written several popular books on the subject. She also writes tutorials and creates videos for her blog, at UltimatePaperMache.com.

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.

Armatures out of wire

Reviewed in Canada on January 30, 2022

I bought this book on kindle as I am a needle felter and the patterns for the armatures and the way the poses are changed is very helpful for felters. You can use the directions to build up with felt just as easily as she has detailed with paper. She also gives you a link to print the patterns so you can get the proportions right. To use the book as intended would also produce really cute animals. Well done

Great book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 15, 2019

Brilliant book. I bought it on Kindle, but I think I'm going to have to buy the print version as it would be easier to navigate back to the paper mache recipes when you are further through the book. I have made two dogs already and it has kick started a love of making models. I've now branched out to making my own creations (hares, birds etc.) If you find this interesting then check out Jonni's blog. She is always willing to answer questions and give advice.

- the models are harder to make than Jonni Good makes it look

This is a lovely book, very clearly explained, delightful pictures.
BUT be warned! - the models are harder to make than Jonni Good makes it look!
This is definitely for people who are already good at craft - and I consider myself in that group.... but still it's very fiddley. Maybe I'll get better with practice!
