How was the Muslin To work with?
Seems like it would make a super tough skin.
It's interesting as it was wonderful to arrange and had a great look of dried mummy flesh, but because it's fabric in the end, it actually became brittle and very easy to pop a finger through it.
But I loved working with it. Loved seeing a different texture than the decades of mache work i've done.
Thanks for sharing this rare production photo. The texture from the muslin fabric looks incredible. I'm assuming you used a glue/water mache mixture; have you tried using just exterior latex paint as the mache medium? I started using cotton fabric, its very stretchy and forgiving, with just latex paint as it allows some flexibility/movement without cracking while still providing a water resistant skin.
I've never tried just paint and have only used glue/water (started out using newspaper dipped in flour/water many moons ago).
After using latex paint mixed with wood fibers for the church walls and seeing how well they're holding up in the yard after about ten rains and three snows, i bet paint is a great alternative. Though probably not as cheap as diluted elmer's glue. Does it need to be cut with water? I'd imagine no.
I use the paint undiluted for mache work such as skin or corpsing and then use a 75/25 elmer's glue-all / water mixture on cloth/clothing as I want more natural looking folds in the material and the glue will dry clear without modifying the color of the cloth. I found the paint held up better for mache work in the bad thunderstorms I get during October. I honestly thought the painted cardboard on your CHURCH display was reclaimed lumber until you posted behind-the-scene photos of it. It was spot-on.
i picked up an "oops" can of paint in a dark brown/beige color at the store and it definitely helped with time/ and painting in all the nooks and crannies. Undiluted. it take longer to dry, but tough. I used up old cutup t-shirts to get a thicker skin and for coating a skull when you want exposed bone to show thru.
And I used black party napkins with glue to cover witch jars too, btw.
I’ve used latex paint for the two years I have made corpses. Every time I go to Home Depot I just fly by the Oops section and check out the colors and buy the ones I like. I have slowly aquired a decent variety. Full gallons are $9. The smaller cans are $2. I can get 2-3 corpses from a full can. About 1 groundbreaker from the smaller can. Depends on level of detail. The second year I had learned a lot and used more towels to get more details. I use blue shop towels as my base. Thank you Mr. Chicken.
Oh I forgot to comment on the actual photo. Thanks for the behind the scenes shot! This actually looks similar to my own. Now, my finished products are lightyears behind yours for sure, but its nice to know I am heading in the right direction.
