Work in Progress Step 09


Finally, back to it this evening, after a long day of ratty and other business, including making a meatloaf.
The outer layers are mostly dry, so I can use rolled up newspaper to add some bulk to the torso. This is a good way to accomplish bulk without adding weight up here that would make the piece top-heavy. You might be surprised to find out how heavy a paper mache sculpture can be. (Think of a thick pack of printer paper). In thick layers, paper is very heavy. Pete, who ran out to get flour for me last night, has the tornado that is Orion so I can go make some progress.
This is real motivation at work. I'm actually walking right past The Daily Show to go work...

I tried very hard, for at least ten seconds, to refrain from asking, but it's no good -- I just have to

Umm, does the meat loaf fall into the former category, or the latter?

And if it's the former, then... no, no, I do NOT want to know this. I don't. Absolutely not.

Hmmm. I'm liking the way you think. How many rats would it take to make a meatloaf that would feed a family of four? There must be a ratloaf recipe out there somewhere...
