Creating Your Whale Armature

1 Build Your Armature
Begin drawing out your whale to cut out of cardboard.
Place your whale into a plastic bag and shape with lots of mashing tape.

2 Paper Clay Your Little Whales
Paper Clay: Cover the entire whale with about 1/4 inch layer of paper clay, doing one side at a time and letting that completely dry. Apply the homemade paper clay with your hands and smooth with paper mache paste, butter knife, etc. You can let your paper clay dry for about 6 or more hours and then smooth more with paste.

Now it's time to let your little whale plate (tray) dry completely in the sun or in front of the fan for 2 to 3 days. It is important that it completely dries before moving on.

3. Paint the little whales
Paint a white coat of paint on your whale to give you a white canvas for painting on.
Once the base coat as dried paint with acrylics anyway you like. Let this completely dry.

You must seal your paper clay pieces with 3 to 4 coats varnish for protection. Varnish comes in a spray can in gloss or stain.

This is just one way to make a little whale; we would love to hear your thoughts and see the little paper clay whales that you have made.
