Far too many sculptors come to a dead stop because making sculpture isn’t easy or cheap and then stops being fun. It can get hard really fast when you’re paying a foundry, or unable to pay for firings. That’s one of my reasons for elevating paper mache to a fine art form. This method is an innovative, inexpensive, durable, lightweight, technique of laminating paper into plaster molds which I hope helps you to continue loving the process of making sculptures. And, I hope you enjoy the scenes of our dogs, and our Rancho in Mexico where we work, with a window onto Mexican life for an immigrant. Sculpture by Diane Louise van der Zanden at Atelier Arenas on Rancho Flor del Cerro in Colima Mexico. Check out my sculpture and paper mache playlists for more videos from other artists.

TRICKS FOR A BROKEN PLASTER MOLD | make sure it sticks. 26
In this video, I’ll repair the broken two piece mold that needed more mold release. This is an amazing new technique, adapted from authentic Venetian mask making, using paper mache in plaster molds to make lightweight, hollow, durable, long-lasting, economical, paper mache sculptures. It may be complex, but it’s a lot of fun. This paper mache sculpture is called "Pride". It’s the third or fourth sculpture that I made using this technique, an easy, satisfying paper layering method of creating high end paper sculpture. I’ve learned so much in the last several years and hope that it helps you all to not make the same mistakes as me and change your art life forever!

Hail for Jonni Good! I think watching her content is what made TH-cam suggest me your channel :)
Yes! She's great 😃 Her channel has helped me a lot. Glad to hear that you got here from there ❤️
I LOVE ALL YOU VEDEOS 😇👍 AND WORK
You are so sweet! It means a lot to me. Thank you. ❤️
Ohhh! I wish I knew this trick after my shelf was blow over and broke about 5 molds! Thanks for sharing!
Me too Kim! Thank you! 😊
It's so much better seeing mistakes and how to fix them rather than a sanitized video where everything goes perfectly. I seem to learn more from my mess ups
I learn much more from my mistakes. Haha. I'm glad to share them with you 😄
Muy buen trabajo Diane , felicidades!!!
Muchísimas gracias 🙂❤️
Toilet paper cost way too much to waste, use junk mail instead.
Yes. It's expensive. Where I live, there is no junk mail and no newspaper. And I like the standardization of my sculpture products. I know how they behave over time. I'm collecting toilet paper rolls to try. That'll give me the color that I like. Thanks for your comment ☺️
Great stuff
Hi. Thank you! 😊
Your technique with paper is really advanced
What a great comment. You made my day.🙂
What a great idea! The metal cottles!! Wood always warps and… And it stores nicely!
Yes! I'm sure I didn't invent it, but I've been using them for so long that I don't remember where the idea came from.
Something wrong with the volume 🤔 I wonder if regular candle wax might have worked better. Always try to learn a little something from any sort lived setback. 👍
Thanks for letting me know about the volume! Yeah, wax or Vaseline, or more layers of mineral oil. 😆
you shouldn't use water so close to the outlet
Hi! They're all GFI outlets that would turn off if they get drops in them. Like in kitchens. 🙂
Excelente video!! No soy practicante de este arte, aún así lo disfruté mucho.
Muchas gracias Flor ❤️❤️❤️
Very informative video, thank you very much! It is always really interesting to see the engineering behind works of art. Making beautiful things that last is an art in itself.
I love the engineering! It's one of my favorite things about making sculpture. Thank you for your commitment 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and documenting your process. I’m amazed at the strength of your sculptures! I love your flange process for piecing your sculptures together. I will be using your techniques to cast on a large head mask that is almost sculpted.
You're so welcome. I'm glad you're using the technique and can't wait to see how it works. Let me know and don't forget the mold releases! 10 coats of mold soap on the plaster and then a coat of thinned wax. 😃
Found your channel yesterday and tried my first test piece immediately. I can’t wait to explore this process fully. Thank you for this gift.
I'm so glad to hear this. I hope that it works for you. Let me know! ☺️
Buen trabajo Diane !!! 👍
Gracias! ❤️
I was thinking how I wish i had and atelier like yours, so much space and everything is organized! But you are correct, it was a long journey for you and it wasn't easy, and let me tell you that you can see that in every video how much effort your put on everything. Im happy for you and all the things you accomplished to be now sharing all of it with us! Take care
Oh thank you so much, Esperanza. I'm glad that I can share it with you. I remember when I was young, having a friend with a beautiful studio and it helped me visualize that I could have one myself. Maybe you can, too! ❤️
Your work is beautiful! Do you know of comparable materials to the ones you use that can be found in the United States?
Hi. Thank you! 😌 Newspaper is almost exactly the same weight as the craft paper that I'm using. If you can find tortilla paper, what they use to wrap the tortillas for sale, that should be the same weight. Other than that, PVA glue, a scalpel, threaded rod, USG casting plaster. Those should be easy to find. Plasticine, a harder one for sculptures, from an art store, and a softer one for mold beds and walls from a kids store? Mine is non toxic made for kids.
Let me know what else you need that's hard to find 🙂
I love your work very much. It brings happiness 👌😇👍
You are so sweet to say so. Thank you Harold 😌
Wow thank you so much for sharing this recipe ❤❤❤
You are so welcome! Thanks for the message 🙂
You are so painstaking and work so hard! It's amazing, and most importantly, the results are beautiful. I am in awe of your process your organization, your creativity, and how it all comes together!
You're so sweet Anne and you buoy me. I'm having the best time of my life! Thank you for staying in touch 🙂 and I hope all is well with you.
😊👍Marvelous
Thank you‼️
Hey Diane So inspiring seeing the evolution of your work. With your experimental attitude and mindset you continue to push boundaries in your artwork. Great to see. -Delaney
Aw. You just made me cry. I appreciate this note so much. ❤️
Hi mam, It seems that I am the first one to give you a comment on this vedeo Thumbs upp. I enjoy and admire your work 😊👍 Harold Mettler
Hi Harold. Thank you so much! It helps me to hear this. 😃
❤❤❤❤ Ilove
Thank you Jacqueline! I appreciate it 😊
Hi Diane, do you have any issues with the craft paper not being archival or acid free? Or does the pva override the potential issues?
Hi Kim. I don't know how long the paper will last, but I have a few sculptures that are several years old. I have the first one that I made and it looks like I just made it. The only problem I've had so far is that one got wet and got moldy. That's why I'm so careful to keep them dry.
Tried this yesterday and LOVED the results. Beautiful!
Yay! It's great to hear that 😃👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thats really cool!
Oh, thank you! 😊 I love that video.
I like your work very much.
Thank you so much!
Nice Works, I am watching from South Africa ( Cape Town) I like your work.
Thank you! I love it when I get to connect with people from far away. I'm so happy that you like my work and commented. 😊
The recipe is so good I tried it and it turned out so well. And most importantly the lady sharing it is sweet humble and sharing with everyone. so nice of her thanks

I have a few pieces I would like to make mold of so I can make several of them. This video is exactly what I need to see, just a brush up on the technique and materials, Thanks!
Wow. Great 😃 Let me know how it goes.
Your attention to detail is amazing! I do like the speeding up of some of the work - good job editing. Also love seeing slices of your life and environment.. the dogs are adorable!
That's great feedback for me. Thank you. 🙂❤️
This was such a fun video 😮 I could have stood for it to be a little longer 👍 I really didn't think this was going to work and I wonder how it would do with waterproof wood glue 🤔 😍 These pieces turned out beautiful 😍
Thank you for that. You're right and I'm sorry it wasn't longer. I'm still such a novice in so many ways 😆 Figuring out how to tell a story and get it posted in a reasonable amount of time. I think this type of stain will work on most any glue because it penetrates, and it sticks to the plasticized surfaces. It's so much fun to work with. ❤️
Felicidades Diane , another great video.
Thank you 😊 it's fun to show things about Colima, Mexico 😃
Dear Diane, i'm following your work since last year from Argentina and let me tell you how fascinating is to watch and hear you work in every piece. Also...this is my last year (in art teaching) and for my final project in sculpture (my field of choice) i decided to try your technique. The sculpture has to be very big, like almost 2 meters tall...so i'm collecting everything i need. Right now i'm on my hunt for wild clay because it is very expensive to buy it for me but i'm getting there. Anyway, I hope Rita doesnt get to scape again, it must be hard for her to understand that at night she can't go outside! Take care Diane, stay well and I will be patiently waiting for what you want to share with your community <3
Thank you Esperanza. That was such a nice message from you 😊 It makes me so happy that my videos help you and that you're using the process! Let me know if you have any questions as you work. ❤️
spoko, fajne
