      @@kata865 I know Finland has quite a different language. I assumed there would be a distinct culture gap as well from my readings of a number of english translated old Norse sagas and histories. I'd enjoy hearing more about it if you are in the mood to discuss, though I understand if you do not want to get pulled into a lengthy online discourse.

    Hello and thank you for these tutorials, they are fantastic! I have a question about drying time. How many layers of paper do you put on before allowing to dry and for how long?
    How long do you give the clay to dry?
    🤔.. thank you, Grace

    • @Drachenfang
      @Drachenfang  2 роки тому +3

      You're very welcome. I will usually put six layers of paper on before letting it dry though I believe you can get away with as few as three. With the paper you want it to dry completely. Honestly though paper sometimes dries within a few hours if you have a fan on it. If you put it outside to dry and live in a hot climate be careful of your beach ball bursting. I always give the clay an 'overnight' to dry (8-12 hours). Thicker layers will take longer to dry completely so never apply too much clay (which is usually about an inch thick layer). It's perfectly fine to build up areas in layers and I do that with my pumpkin eyebrows all the time.

    These tutorials are awesome, thorough and easy to follow! Do you think regular clay or air dry clay would be too heavy to use or crack easily?

    • @Drachenfang
      @Drachenfang  Рік тому

      Thanks very much. To answer the question... both honestly. I think that normal clay would be too heavy, too prone to cracking, and more brittle than I would like it to be. There is an experimental clay using portland cement in place of joint compound to make the paper clay waterproof as well as rather dense. The run down for that can be found on a channel called 'Ultimate Paper Mache.' Realistically though if you have regular clay lying around and the capacity to fire it in a kiln you can probably make a pretty good clay pumpkin based on this sculpting concept. Some air dry modeling clays might work but I think that the end product would be annoyingly heavy and clunky to move and store.

      بله خمیر کاغذ خاکی است که مانند ویدیو قبلی درست می شود. در حال حاضر برای سهولت استفاده آن را با دستمال توالت درست می کنم، بنابراین به روزترین روش این است.
      دو رول دستمال توالت بردارید، آن ها را خیس کنید تا مانند لجن کاغذی درآیند، بیشتر آب را از دستمال توالت بیرون بیاورید، اما نه آنقدر محکم که لازم باشد دست خود را به شدت خم کنید. کاغذ توالت عمدتاً بدون آب را در ظرفی بریزید که می توانید در آن مخلوط کنید. یک فنجان ترکیب اتصال دیواره خشک به آن اضافه کنید. 3/4 فنجان چسب اضافه کنید. شروع به مخلوط کردن کنید. وقتی خمیر کاغذ، چسب و ترکیب مفصل به خوبی مخلوط شدند، شروع به اضافه کردن آرد کنید و به هم زدن ادامه دهید. آرد اضافه می شود تا زمانی که خاک رس به سختی شروع به چسبندگی به پوست شما می کند، زمانی که قطعه ای را برای نمونه برداری از آن بردارید. بدون آرد فقط پوست شما را خیس می کند. اگر خاک رس آنقدر خشک است که خرد می شود، آب بیشتری اضافه کنید. این رایج ترین و آسان ترین روش است.

    Why is this step necessary if you’re putting another layer on top of this one?

    • @Drachenfang
      @Drachenfang  2 роки тому

      I'm guessing you're talking about the smoothing. I did it here for two reasons. 1) I wanted to demonstrate the smoothing technique on a broad uniform surface. 2) I can never tell if a portion of my lower layer won't be getting an additional layer on top because my face sculpting is fairly spur of the moment. You can just add a small coating on top of any rough layer to smooth down as you please. It's more habit than design for me at this point.

    • @Drachenfang
      @Drachenfang  Рік тому

      خمیر اتصال دیوار استحکام و استحکام قابل توجهی را به نتیجه نهایی اضافه می کند. همچنین به جلوگیری از تجمع آب در الیاف کاغذ پس از اتمام کمک می کند. شما می توانید آن را طوری تصور کنید که گویی ساختاری را از لایه های چسب پارچه یا از گچ می سازید. یکی بیشتر شبیه سنگ است و دیگری بیشتر مستعد خم شدن و جذب آب است.

      @@marymangano1705 Toilet paper very naturally breaks up into very small cellulose fibers very shortly after you add it to water. When I used it in the past I got myself a strainer and put the TP into it and then wetted it down with tap water. Give it a little time to start breaking down (about a minute if I remember correctly) and then you can grab a handful and squeeze the water out. It should turn into pretty much a paper blob. You can either crumble the paper blob right into paste or crumble it and let it dry out into a 'pulp' that can be readily added to paste later. Check out Joni's video on making paper clay on Ultimate paper mache. I believe she shows the process. Just don't add linseed oil like she does or it will take a small forever to dry. Keep me posted if you have any more questions about it.

    I’m giving it a try but asking if you are no longer using cardboard to bulk up eye and mouth areas like you were doing with trash bag. Is that needed now that you are using clay before cutting out the face? Or with the first layer of paper clay does it give a good base to avoid the cardboard?

    • @Drachenfang

      I've just found that it's really not needed. If you need to bulk up around the eyes, nose, or mouth you can just add more clay.

    How would you compare the beach ball versus trash bag drying time after your layers of mache? My concern is my kiln (broken fridge with light bulb) will reach 100-140 and the beach ball may not handle that heat. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

    • @Drachenfang
      @Drachenfang  3 роки тому +1

      My extreme apologies. I remember typing a reply to this weeks ago and when I checked this came up in the 'haven't replied section' which boggles my mind. I will attempt to write what I did before. The problem you face here is that even if the ball can handle the heat it will swell with the expanding air and put pressure on your whole inner surface. If things aren't really well layered the swelling ball will likely split both mache and paper clay. I would not use the kiln unless you can control the heat setting with a dimmer switch and go for a lower temperature. Again my apologies to the delay on this response. I have no idea what happened to my initial reply.
