papier-mache mermaid



E and I created this little ocean-girl together while waiting for the permit to begin building our earthship. You can tell, because we each made one of her arms and they're different from each other. She stands about three feet tall and is mostly papier-mache, finished with metal paints. She's got a PVC core filled halfway up with cement, to lend her ballast on the open sea. The rock was shaped out of wire and stuffed with newspaper, then layered with paper.
