Decoupage pears





After creating a secure base of crumpled newspaper I covered the forms with newspaper strips saturated in a methyl cellulose wallpaper paste. After the surface dried I drilled screws into the tops and coated them with a plaster mixture to smooth out the pear shape, sanding the surface when dry. Atop the plaster skin I then applied cut-out patterns from magazines saturated in wallpaper paste and white glue. When dry I sprayed them with acrylic gloss varnish.
