![]() Toilet paper is just an amazing material because although it looks fragile, its really strong if you know how to deal with, plus its amazingly plastic too! Photo 7 – So now I start to model the outer face with rolls of toilet paper. ![]() Photo 6 – Aluminum foil glued into the face to “sketch” the nose, mouth and the brows area. Photo 5 – Cardboard for the wings and tail. Photo 4 – As you can see the main figure is assembled. Didn’t took photo but the neck was made with a roll of paper stuck on the figure and the face is made out from a silicone cast shape that I made for faces (for another project that I’m working on for over two years). Photo 3 – From a kinder surprise egg I made the back of the head. P hoto 2 –This is the half a rubber ball armature which I used to make the neck. Photo 1 – first I always start with a balloon armature with 3 layers of newspaper glued with flour (made my peace with flour glue because I noticed that for simple layers it doesn’t get moldy as in thick pastes). I decided to number the photos and describe the steps, thought it is an easy way to write down and show the process. Here in Lisbon there are lots and because they are always being fed they are always in the mood for love, so I wanted to portray one male pigeon whilst dancing to conquer his bride to be.

Thank you for your invitation on writing an article and, of course, to all who commented the previous pieces! Sorry it took so long, but I’m sure you know that working on creative work isn’t as consistent as it should (time wise). ![]() Be sure to click on the photos to see the images in a larger size. (He does some amazing things with toilet paper!) His sculpting techniques are just as unique as the sculptures themselves, so I asked him to show us how they were made. Several weeks ago our friend Pedro Rodrigues from Lisbon showed us some unique paper mache sculptures he’d made that looked like birds with human faces. ![]()
