Paper Mache - Kindred Spirits

Full song lyrics: Paper Mache - Kindred Spirits

Kindred Spirit:
Well the poor soak in woe in their broken ghettos
can’t find the strength to side-step the vicious cycle
so they rot on their couches and the sick rot in their beds
they’re just waiting to die
did they forget how to live while they’re still breathing?
don’t they know they’re still…


Full song lyrics: Paper Mache - Kindred Spirits

i dare not deny cliche conventions,
i’ll just take in stride your need for attention.
and i’ll be the step and you can be the one steppin’.
i’d rather be a wound,
if you’re what it’s like to be a weapon.

Today I’ll be posting some newly taken photos of some sculptures I completed last year. Here’s a paper mache sculpture of one of my lonely bed people.

I decided as part of my menagerie, I will instead of humans, be using creatures made of paper mache. I came across a website today, gourmetpapermache.com, and was inspired to persue this media instead. Last year I made sculpy characters for a gameboard project and wanted to do it again in a larger scale ever since.

New Orleans Masks

    Each of the masks at New Orleans Masks is a handmade, original work of art to be worn, displayed or – hopefully – both. The masks’ materials run the gamut from papier mache, leather, fibers, plaster and cloth. They are adorned with feathers, jewels, fabric, sequins and anything else you can imagine. We also offer accessories such as boas, wings, tiaras, fangs – nearly everything needed for a masquerade or a night out on the town.
