Hi, I've been bingeing on your videos since I discovered you a couple of days ago. Thanks for sharing all your tips! Just wondering if you're worried about the threaded rod rusting after a while and possibly cracking the sculpture? Or are they galvanised? Also, have you ever tried using compressed air to get the paper out of the moulds? I've used it on plaster moulds, but never tried paper mache. Happy New Year from Australia.

Happy New Year Diane…! Oh soooo nice..to watch your awesome Show…!

Always such a pleasure to watch you and your husband create beautiful things! Happy New Year! May this year bring you many blessings 🙏🏻

Excellent work Diane, and bery inspiring.

I love it all! This past month I melted down and altered cheap colorful children’s’ oil based clay to make a neutral color with the textures I want, since Roma plastalina has become unaffordable. This is so exciting!

100 percent on board. Thank you. Robb.

Love your work.❤

Good for you❤Robb

Love your work. Have been looking for a new way of making larger art pieces other than clay. This looks like the the way to go. Im so excited. Thank you so much for sharing your tech to be able to do the things for my work. Robb.

I just found your channel and love it!

Love your video! I am going to watch the other ones as I have just discovered your channel! Thanks for sharing your process, so inspiring.

nice and beautyful video

Hi there, have you tried using a dremel tool with cutoff blades and sanding barrels or stones to further finish the flange and subsequent scarring? I know it’s noisy, and will throw some dust, but it would save your wrist and fingers!

Thank youuuuuuuuu Diane, for showing the process... It helped me a lot. I was with headaches on how to continue making sculpture financially accessible to me. See you next year. Happy New year🎉❤

Do we get to watch you color one?

Where will you be showing?

It's still great progress. Chin up 😎

Merry Christmas Diane….and family and friends 🎉❤ 🎄 Beautiful….. absolutely beautiful…..

من هم برای ساخت مجسمه هام وبرای بعضی از قسمتهای از قالب گیری استفاره میکنم و البته برای ارماتور گذاری انها را جوشکاری میکنم.👍I also use molding to make my sculptures and for some parts, and of course I weld them to install the reinforcement.

Which country do you live in?

Thank you for your attention! I live in Iran. The only thing that doesn't matter here is the people. I work for a sculptor in cement, Russian clay, pottery, and recently papier-mâché, which is close to your style.🌹

Dear lady, your work was interesting and I enjoyed it very much! I am also a sculptor, but in my country it is not given much importance. I wish I was closer to you and could use your abilities. Thank you.🌹

Diane, instead of washers have you ever tried a T-nut,it’s like a nut that has a washer already,and the washer has spikes you can pound with a hammer into a pre drilled hole into plywood.the t-nut sinks into the plywood and acts as a nut.You can make small ply wood sections (circles,or what looks like a wheel and put them on the rod inside your sculptures parts…….that can connect to the paper. You wouldn’t have to do all that build-up inside on that washer. You’d cut some say 3” circles out of plywood,or whatever your inside dimension is.drill a hole in that center…..put your treaded T- nut in that hole and pound it in with a hammer. Now you can use that instead of a nut and washer…the edge of that wheel will align with the inside of the wall of your sculpture….

Absolutely Great Diane….! 🥇

Love your videos and your works of Art Diane…! Soothing and a real stress reliever…..editing and music 🎶 Are all so beautiful…., I’d like to do Michelangelo’s. David ….after seeing your process I can envision creating a Apoiio and Atlas or some other classic figure. Venus and Mars…! Thank you so much Diane.For your inspiration through your art and such a kind and inviting personality. “Yay 🎉🎉🎉”

ممنون بابت فیلم اموزشی شما بانوی عزیز ❤👍🙏

2:10 next time clamp the base to the table it would be much easier to work when it doesn't slide around. Best regards

❤ Just love your videos! Thank you for sharing. ❤

How absolutely beautiful Diane….I’m flabbergasted at what you’ve done. All these figures are great sculptures,and your wonderful videos are very inspiring . I enjoy watching them,I love all of it,so much great content in them. I praise you for all you’ve done. 🥇

It’s looking good, thanks for bringing us along

Yay, it was so cool to see your studio and process, and the work coming together!

I like the look of the sealed brown paper….it kind of resembles wood. Your sculptures are beautiful,and your narration through your films Really makes them interesting and fascinating……. Such a beautiful place… creating beautiful works of Art.

Organic Engineering at it's Finest 😁

It’s fun to watch your videos……

Wow! You never cease to amaze me. I could watch you create your art for hours and hours!!! Every step fascinates me and brings me joy. Thank you again for sharing. ❤

Where are these going to show?

So happy for you…. What an accomplishment. I’m an artist ,but I’ve had to work for a living and that’s a shame. I hope to have my studio/shop again someday. I admire you very much,

Beautiful work of art 😍💕...Im confused....you mentioned not cutting into pieces the original plasticine structure, but then what did you use for the mold making 🤔? Thank you for sharing 🙏🥰

I have studio envy. What a wonderful space, inside and out.

I just discovered your videos. I make much smaller molds and castings with Hydrocal for restoration work. I find it it stronger and harder than plaster and never had a problem with it coming out soft. Depending on the weather and how large the pieces are, it may take an extra day to dry thoroughly. Have you ever used it on any of these larger molds?

Very impressive technique, also cute dogs ❤

I was always afraid to mess with using plaster... i loathe wearing gloves when being creative and i always thought my school art teachers said don't touch plaster with your hands, but couldn't quite remember why (if it was chemicals or heat reaction), but i see so many people via youtube touching wet plaster with their hands, so I'm still confused about it. I once messed with a cement mix with my bare hands and they became so dry that every little definition in my skin cracked and felt like paper cuts and sandpaper for at least 2 weeks. Still watching. Love seeing your process. Your sculptures are grand.

Thanks for joining me in putting together sculptures for the “Holding Up the Sky” show.

Perseverance should be your middle name! I love that while sharing your process you also show things that don't work. So that doesn't look easy, but it still looks possible. And the legs looked great both as they were being formed with plasticine and as the first casting came out of your new mold. Kudos!

Amazing.

I Love that you share your process, thank you!!!

This is so cool...and, inspirational, thanks!!

We know about linoleum acid from linseed oil turning acidic and rotting canvas over time. A google search turned up-“Vaseline (petroleum jelly) does not turn acidic over time; it is considered a neutral substance with a pH level close to 7, meaning it is neither acidic nor alkaline, and its chemical composition remains relatively stable even when stored for extended periods.” More likely your paper will turn acidic over time unless you buy buffered cotton paper. The oil stains might be useful as mark making one day.
