Making of "Caruso"

This is the making of "Caruso", a peacock that I made out of paper mache as a theater prop.

"Caruso" is the name of a peacock that is intented to be used in our theater play that unfortunately will probably never happen...
Never mind. I had a lot of fun making it !
Like I also had a lot of fun playing the characters I was in charge of (thank you Emilie for your patience).

As I have never seen a real peacock this sculpture is totally inaccurate.
May the purist forgive me.

Material used

  • newspaper and water (paper mache)
  • paper glue
  • acrylic paint and Posca
  • real peacock feathers (thanks to Philippe !)
  • hot glue gun
  • and some "secret materials" of mine (eye pupils, blue crest)

EDITED (2025): our theater play will finally happen this year. Caruso will be able to have its role.
