Man, I forgot how messy paper mache could be.. lol it's going slowly but surely.. I got most of the front done last night and by the end of tonight the whole thing should be done. Then I have to do ANOTHER layer over the whole thing with brown paper bags to give it more weight and once I varnish it the brown paper bags will looks like a leather finish. I finally figured out what to do with the doors since the willow branches were to thick and made the door bulky, I have these thin reeds that I'm going to under over weave so it will look like a rustic rattan. oh and because I was lazy and didn't feel like making the inside shelves double thick like I did the outside of the cabinet, the middle shelf on the 2nd tier is drooping cause of the wetness of the paper mache, but I'm going to cut some twigs to fit and put one on either side to support it.
