How to do it

Soak papier-mâché pulp in water using the ratio: 3 parts pulp to 1 part water.

For increased adhesion, add 1 tbsp glue lacquer per 2 dl mass of papier-mâché pulp and water. Knead the mixture well and leave to rest for 1 hour.

Form a frame from two long pieces of Bonsai wire. Form a head in one of the wires with arms raised above it in a circle. Double over the other wire and bend slightly upwards at each end; this wire will be the body, legs and feet.

Assemble the two parts.

Cover the wire with papier-mâché pulp. Legs and arms consisting of two joints. Make hands, feet, a head and a body. Leave to dry for 2-8 days depending on the size of the figure.

Paint the figure with Plus Color craft paint and leave to dry.

Draw details with Uni Posca markers.
