Hi...The tutorial says she pads out the armature with foil and wraps it in white floral paper tape. In other words, use aluminum foil to shape a body around the armature wire and then wrap the whole body tightly in floral tape. She then applies a layer of gesso to seal it before painting the pink. Did I answer your question OK?
ReplyDeleteyes,
