Hi, I'm Helena, helenytroy.blogspot.com, and I would mortraros this idea to recycle plastic bottles.
blogs I've seen in other recycling projects plastic bottles, and I wanted to try.
The final push gave me this bottle, the way you have to like it and, immediately, I knew I wanted to do with it:! A kokeshi!, The typical Japanese dolls that I love
first worked only the cap. I wanted a big head, but not weighed a lot, so I ripped pieces of newspaper, mixed them with water and some white glue (also wallpaper glue it) and, with that body, I made a ball which pierced his cap.
thought then covering it with strips of newspaper glued to it all paper mache but as was her home a white putty that hardens in the air (they sell in "" 100 "is a kind of clay for school use), I used to give a smoother finish (though much heavier). I also put a bun.
Once the putty was dried kokeshi was ready, just need the decoration. For my version I used paint and canvas, but surely there are many other forms of decoration.
The upper body and head of painting with acrylics and, once dry, I gave a few layers of ceramic coating to protect the paint.
skirt and obi fabric was made with glued directly on the bottle. As the obi was not sure how he is adorned with a button.
And this is the end result. As the head at the end I was quite heavy, I have put some pebbles inside, but as the head is removed and attached to thread, you can get anything:
Once made me have a little regret used white putty, the head really heavy, so you lose stability, because the base is very narrow. I recommend it opteis on paper only
mache
