| Yoki the Fat Dragon |
This coming weekend my big boy turns three years old (they grow up so fast, it seams like just yesterday I was bringing him home from the hospital) and Max Attack wants a dragon themed birthday party. No vikings, no knights, no princes JUST dragons. So dragons we will do.
Totally inspired by DIY Fluffies' "Yoki the Fat Dragon" I am going to make a dragon pinata for the party. How can you resist this?
First I prepare my 12" party balloon with a thin layer of white glue - a tip given to me by local crafting guru Pattie Lundin whose rustic dolls are absolutely amazing. Then I stretch several damp paper towels over the balloon in a single layer and give it a few hours to dry. This will give the FastMache I plan to use to create the dragon shape something to adhere to.While it is drying I create the head using the Yokie pattern I purchased as a template and stuff it with wrapping tissue to help it hold it's form. Tomorrow I will cover the head with Cellu Clay a sister product to the Fast Mache that is more easily molded and carved. This will be great for adding the fine details.
