Construct the wire frame (see video www.paverpol.ca).
The arms 13 cm long and spine 8cm. Bend knees at 7 cm
from crotch, and bend two hands and 2 feet (photo). The head is a little styrofoam ball 2.5 cm
(1”). Tape foam above bended knee
Cut ¼ out of the Styrofoam ball and tape it as a belly on top of the foam legs. Tape a piece of
foam over the belly to make wider hips and a small piece below the knees. Leave the feet and
ankles uncovered. Make sure there is enough space left for 2 small breasts.
Foil the arms, chest area and start working your way down, filling up the hips, belly and legs.
Tape the foil tight at the ankles. Give an indent in the foil where the legs meet the body. The
head is the little Styrofoam ball, make a chin with foil and wrap the whole head in foil. See
photos for measurements.
Mix 50 gram Paverpol black and 50 gram Paverpol Bronze together.
Take 3 wrappers and cut each in 3 strips, cut one piece of 13 x13 cm, 1 piece 7 by 10 and a slit in
the middle (photo) and a few pieces to make hair.
Start wrapping a strip around the feet up first continue going up. Brush Paverpol on the
wrapper.
Do the same for the rest of the body, legs fist, body up to breasts, blow dry 3 minutes.
Then arms, neck and bib, dry. Wrap the wrapper around the head and leave the excess up like
hair. Add extra pieces for the hair and shape it with two kebab sticks. Head and hear, dry. Lay
the sculpture on its back to dry, this way the hair will stay up.
Mix 50 gram Paverpol black and 50 gram Paverpol Bronze with 6 grams (3 tsp) Paverplast.
Apply a thick coat of the mix. Dry. Apply one coat the mixture of bronze and black Paverpol
(without the Paverplast). This last layer will bring some shine back. The thicker mixture of
Paverpol and Paverplast gave the sculpture a dull sheen.
Mix Pavercolor antique gold with some varnish to make paint.
Dry-brush the mixture on the sculpture. This will give it he ‘faux bronze’ look.
Varnish the sculpture with Josefine’s satin varnish (after one week of curing)
