Diary of an Art Project

Day 1: Coat blown-up balloons with newspaper strips using homemade papier mache "goo." Wait for newspaper to dry.

Day 3: Newspaper is completely dry.

Day 15 or so: Adhere cardboard fins and eyes made of newspaper with more strips. Wait for newspaper to dry.

Day 17: Newspaper is completely dry.

Day 18: Paint top and sides of fish. Wait for paint to dry.

Day 19: Paint is completely dry.

Day 21: Paint bottoms of fish.

Day 22: Voila!



Art cannot be rushed.
