Success rice! I thought about what you said, RoxyBlue, about separating the layers and decided that I might be having a quality issue. I got a roll of the cheapest paper towels I could find and they're working great!

I am having a little bit of trouble getting the towels right up to the edge of the facial features without hanging over. But I figure my trusty Xacto knife can handle it.

Glad it's working for you

I've made a few mini props and they definitely pose their own set of challenges when trying to get papier mache into small spaces where fingers can't easily go. I tear off little pieces of paper towel and use a flat toothpick or blade to help push the material where it needs to be. It's an exercise in developing patience
