Dan of monster-man.com makes a Paper Mache Baby Dragon. I tried to make the dragonlets at the end kitten-like, and the mother scratching her eye like a cat would scratch, with hind leg. Curious if you think I succeeded. Thanks for watching!

  • Great!

    I like their mother :D

    By hi everyone!!!! 1226660985
    • Thank you!

      I'm glad you liked her. Obviously, the mother took a lot longer to make than the baby in the video. But what's a baby dragon without the mother?
      Take care.

    • Hey there.

      You are always sooo kind! I really appreciate your sweet remarks on all my videos. This one took quite a while because I was making three projects at once, the little dragon on the video, and the other little one and the mother on the side. I've had a hard time finding time to do my new one. I hope to have it done within the next few weeks. It will be a dragon "trophy" head to hang on the wall. I hope you check back.
      Again, thank you for your nice comment! Take care.

    • Trophy dragon!

      Great idea! Can't wait to see it!

  • quality is fine

    Nothing wrong with eather quality of art or video.
    Due to metacafe time and file size restrictions compression and speed is the only option, after all Dan your books are available if more info and knowledge is requested. Great vid and
    project "As usual"

    • Thank you!

      I really appreciate this note. I'm always disappointed when I first see the finished product compared to my original video. I figured I was doing something wrong. I thought that maybe I needed to get a more expensive camera. So truly, thanks!

  • WOW

    LOL nice cat! this was amazing!

    By caboose192 1223532163
    • Thank you

      My cat Eddy is always in the way. So I've decided to just leave him in the videos. He was in my fish video as well.

      I really appreciate this!

  • Wow

    Love it. I found your "Make something ugly for a change" book at the library last week and I already started on a fish and a couple dragon busts. They are almost ready to paint. This new art technique is amazing, thank you for sharing it! I have a few questions if you don't mind-
    1. How long do these sculptures last? You have been creating them for years and I am wondering if they ever break down or fall apart or anything.
    2. Have you found a magic way to get glue off your hands after using it? After using the cloth I was scrubbing my hands for a while afterword and still was picking off glue the next day.
    3. Some of your dragon’s tongues on your website look shiny. Is there some sort of varnish or something you add to make it look like this?
    Thanks again!

    By Oupazas 1223013331
    • Thanks!

      I appreciate your nice comments. I've had some of my projects for over 30 years with no degradation (although I don't leave them outside). After I've glued for a while, I wipe my hands with a full sheet of newspaper. It wads up and most of the glue gets pulled off my hands. Then I wash with water. Sometimes I coat the tongue with fiberglass casting resin to make a shiny tongue. Varnish works well too. Good luck. It is a great medium. I'm glad you like it. And thanks for watching the video (and rating too I hope).

  • Much better

    This is much better now that you've slowed it down a bit. Thanks!

    By julie1963 1223004077
    • Thanks

      The quality is still not great. Don't know why. Maybe I need a much better video camera. Fast stuff just gets degraded. But thanks again for your nice remark!

      By Danthemonsterman 1223008043
    • Did I capture any cat?

      Just wondering if you thought I captured any cat characteristics in these dragons. Would love a comment on that (good or bad). Thank you!

  • OMG

    that was awesome... I would have been happy at the 2 minute mark... standards I guess? lol good job

    By SankeGod 1223012103
    • Thank you

      I have no idea how to edit these. Cut too much and you can't see the process. Too little, and the video seems really long. I appreciate your remarks.
