This is Mo

It's been a long, procrastinated journey, but my paper mache project is finished. To be fair,  I actually finished it back in December, but I still didn't make good on finishing it before Thanksgiving! Oh well.

This was the first paper mache project I'd tackled since grade school and if I do say so myself, I did a kick ass job. Nothing but newspaper, tape, twine, and a bit of perseverance. I'm calling him Mo, after Motsuji. Maybe you can guess why!

Day One:

My proverbial lump of clay...er, paper.

Day Two:

Tim Burtonesque hands or prongs-to-be?

Day Three:

At this point, it was a little creepy to have a paper head sitting around...

 Day Four:

Mo's just gonna lie down for a second. Hm...something's missing...

Day Five:

EARS! Started running out of newspaper, but class worksheets will do in a pinch!

Day Six:

A few bunches of flowers later, I was back in business...and working in overdrive to finish this thing!

Day Seven:

I don't usually brag but look...

...Look!

It's ALIVE!
