How To Make A Paper Mache Mouse

This little mouse was easy and fast to make. My little mouse gave me an excuse to use the "bun foot" that I found in the closet. It's also a great project for showing you how to use a cardboard pattern inside a really small sculpture.

I think it may be faster to make an armature with a pattern inside, like I did this time, instead of with wire. Try making it this way and let me know what you think. (I used wire armatures inside all the tiny dogs in my tiny dog book, so that method works, too. :) )
