Coraline has lips now, thank heavens. I filmed myself making a draft of her head today. It’s not the final draft, but it will show you how the assembly happens. The first thirty seconds are a montage of the dull pattern tracing, cutting and such. The last six minutes of the video are in real-time so you can see how the face goes together.
When I’m doing the final draft, it won’t go this fast, because I’ll have to wait for glue to set, while on the drafts, I’m just using masking tape.
Any questions?

That is interesting to watch, and humanly impossible, I tell you.
Pshaw. Once you have the pattern, it’s just a matter of putting tape on it.
Spectacular! I can’t thank you enough for sharing your techniques like this. This is the most helpful paper sculpture showcase I’ve seen. I’m speaking like this without any clue of how wonderful your finished works are yet…
I can’t wait to see the rest! Thank you.
Shelley, I’m happy that this helps. Do let me know if you have any questions.
