Amoosing Papier Maché

It was a beautiful Saturday morning, I had already bought materials required for the budding artists that were due to arrive at any moment. Chicken wire, and lots and lots of newspapers. I didn't buy the newspapers but got them from a friend, he was able to give me a weeks supply of the New Zealand Herald.

So we proceeded to come up with a plan of how we were going to get this done. The first idea was to get "someone" to be used as a model, of course the logical person was Jasvir since it was indeed all about him. He declined, and no amount of persuasion could convince him otherwise. So to Plan B, with use of complex mathematics and precision engineering we decided that trial and error was the best method of creation.

A few hours later, we came up with our first prototype.

From this we then created an additional 3 behinds and 6 legs.

Now came the fun part covering our wire frames with papier maché.

covering the moose

By 6 pm that evening we had 3 moose behinds created. Now all we had to do was paint them, nail their behinds to a shield and we were all done.
