Time for new paper mache projects! @chieflotsahair.bsky.social is running three races at the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend again this year, and her costumes require two hats. These are going to be somewhat smaller than things I’ve made previously, so I bought a wig head to build them on.

Pretty happy how the parrot head turned out.

The half marathon at the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend is Mary Poppins themed this year, and somehow @chieflotsahair.bsky.social is going to run a half marathon as Mary Poppins' parrot umbrella.

Pretty happy with the progress considering I didn’t get to work on it until late. We could have ordered a hat, but I *made* this one, and it’s huge. Favorite detail so far is the little indentation in the crown, but I haven’t yet started on the accoutrements. This hat will have a lot of personality.

This is my favorite stage of paper mache, after everything is finished and the first coat of Mod Podge has dried. It’s all shiny and all the colors are popping. Now I have to ruin it with some paint.

Realized I hadn’t updated in a few days. So far none of the disasters have been show stopping! Working on some final details with paper clay. I’m getting close to paint, would really like to get that started tomorrow.

It’s certainly taking on a shape. I’m not a hundred percent sure it’s the shape I originally intended, but it’s kinda close.

I did manage to recover it, but there were a lot of expletives involved and it’s a bit lumpier than before. It’ll be fine. It’ll be fine.

Moved on to the next step and have the pieces starting to merge together. I’m at the point where I’m going OH GOD OH GOD YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE IT THE OTHER WAY but we’re gonna push through.

Second layer going down. I’m gonna do four layers and then once it’s dry we’ll pull it off the mannequin head to do a test fitting.

Today is August 4, 2026 There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground, And swallows circling with their shimmering sound; And frogs in the pools singing at night, And wild plum trees in tremulous white; Robins will wear their feathery fire, Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
