Monster's Proof

Celebrated monster-making master Dan Reeder is at it again–helping others to let out their inner monsters! All that's needed are a few simple materials and a wild imagination. Reeder guarantees success if the tried-and-tested, goof-proof how-to steps in this humorous read are followed. But there's more–he's also giving away all of his secrets for creating ghoulish monster elements such as jaws, claws, horns, scales, webbing, tentacles, eyeballs, fingers, toes, gnarly hands and feet, and drool–yes–perfect DROOL! This is paper mache at its best.
