I finished the first 'sculpture' piece I have ever made with papier-mache. I know it isn't perfect because I am still such a beginner and I am just learning the medium, but since everyone has been so wonderfully helpful to me. I wanted to share the picture with you.

I didn't seal the project, because I was trading it to an artist friend of mine and left it unsealed so she could change the features if she wished. (I know less about how to paint then I do about papier-mache), but I did go to the hardware store and picked up marine varnish for my next project. I live in Canada, and it is the middle of winter. You should of seen the confused look on their face when I asked for boat varnish! It was great. 

Thanks again for all your great help. I'd be totally lost if it wasn't for this forum.
