Oaxacan Animal Sculpture!
1. Build your FORM by bunching together crumpled up pieces of newspaper. You can manipulate the newspaper by twisting, rolling, crinkling, folding, balling it up, etc. Then, use masking tape to attach various body parts.
Below is a good video on the sculpting/building process. You can make a cardboard base if you want to, but it is not required. Remember that you are working on a MUCH smaller scale!
