This is a continuation of testing of materials for the head shaped form that is part of the piece.
Tried variations for the papier-mache clay...these affect the texture. I want to have something that speaks skin texture, not clay texture. At this point the clay seems to have a lot of fiber. Probably due to the brand of TP I used (Kirkland courtesey of Costco). A little difficult to spread, but once covered and dry, I am sure I'll be able to sand it to desired smoothness. This is what I have so far:
The mixture of TP for paper, joint compound, white glue, and flour, is the basis for my Papier-mâché Clay. I got the recipe from an artist who formulated the recipe over 10 years ago. She has used it as the basis for nearly 300 works over that time.

Different papers will also affect how smooth or rough your clay is.
