Poverpol magic

i spent an afternoon with my friend

learning how to sculpt with this unique glue called Paverpol.

This is a textile/fabric glue that is initiated and can only

be purchased from Holland, of course there are distributors in Canada that can provide it too.
 I believe Amazon has a bit of it.

My friend took this class in Saskatoon

and wanted to show me how to make it.

here is the armature wire to sculpt and make the form 

We used

a styrofoam block for a stand, a block of wood, and then

to apply the shape with foil and secure with masking tape we used

the copper wire to shape shoulders and a shape to insert styrofoam

egg in for the head

The glue was a bronze/brown colour. 

Built the body with foil and shaped it with masking tape to hold the shape.

I cut strips of 100% cotton into squares or angled strips

and just dipped each cloth strip in the paverpol glue and work it

with your hands to cover completely. Applied each strip to wood armature

and let it fold and hang to your liking and then keep adding

more glue covered strips until it is to your sculpting satisfaction.

 A pin for the nose and that completed her face.

it hardens like a block of wood and it weathers' the outside for

decks or gardens, depending on what you make.  It lasts and weathers

wherever you place it.

and here we are!

My hubby was amazed and gave this craft a name

of Marguerite!

My friend has created 2 sculptures and is considering

instructing classes in the future.

I thank her for sharing this afternoon with me so I can

be super crafty!
