Here is the head paper mached (damn, been 3 years since I did paper mache...I do not miss the gooey mess, lol) many a layer with tacky glue and newspaper, and a layer of wood glue and paper bag.
I JUST cut along the jaw line and under the eyes/above the cheeks and popped the 2 parts off...it worked! never tried it before, never heard of it done, and it worked, and I can make more if needed by using the same foam head!

I am still not sure if I can get the jaw to move though :<
I need to expeirment with cutting through vs above the cheeks because right now, wow does it look odd to hold the 2 pieces with the mouth open, it opens under the eyes D:
I need to let this dry a bit longer before I mess with the jaw, the bottom/inner most layers are still damp and I do not want to distort it.


this may be the last WIP you buzzards get for a while, I feel like I am spamming everyone with this damn bird.

you could find a spandex to put under the eyes to hide the gap, make it similar color to the feathers. And it would stretch when the mouth opened.

if you don't seal them (moisture kills them otherwise) or do enough layers (thin is brittle) or treat them nice. I have paper mache heads and fake taxidermy creatures that date back to 2001, but they have been well taken care of (and paper mache is not something I use on customer orders because it needs too much tender loving care to stay nice)
