I originally thought this tail would hand down lower. So I broke the paper mache and added a few twists. Again, that's why it's so great to have wire clothes hanger inside. I just make repairs with masking tape later.
Since I want this dragon to be as light as possible, I pulled out the initial wads of paper inside the paper mache body when I cut the hole for the head. It's amazing how much paper was crammed inside that body. Max wants to know what's inside the nest. I fully expect to see him curled up inside the nest at some point.
Next, the dragon needs her wings. I gathered the paper mache arms and the "fingers". I taped the fingers together into a hand.
I taped the hands to the paper mache arms. Note the extra finger at the elbow. Then I cut holes in the body and inserted the arms.
Here she is again next to the nest. Time for a head, don't you think?
