Happy Little Sun

For the Sunshine & Rainbows Swap I decided to try my hand at making a paper mache sun with a little rainbow heart for my partner, @kittykill. I love the look of paper mache creations and there was a Domestika course I’d just bought… So I took a leap and I love the end result. There’s a wire hanger on the back so it can be hung. The finished piece is around 7x7".

Process pics!
My initial sketch

After transferring to foam core, I cut out two versions (the top one with the heart removed).

Then I glued them together and used masking tape on the edges.

Next it was time for paper mache!

This is so cute! I love the recessed heart and how it contrasts with the raised cheeks.

You did such a wonderful job! I love it. It makes me so happy.
