Art class today

The chicken I'm working on was with dents after I took it from the shell. The balloon inside was shrunken and the papier-mâché was not yet strong enough. It was quite an operation to get it into shape again, because we tried to poke the holes back with a paintbrush.  Clever Marco suggested after a while that we 'perhaps use a balloon'. And it worked perfectly.
This new balloon will be small again next art class, in a couple of weeks.
