You might also want to try stiffened felt, which seemed to work "as well" as the paper for me, and it is easier to form. Just saturate the pre-shaped felt with runny "paste", whether gluten/starch or methyl cellulose, milk glue, etc. Spray starch "works", but it's expensive. I also used chicken wire or wood ribs, some stitched to the fabric; anyway, the forms need not be solid. If you think it through ahead of time you can attach the felt to pre-fabricated mounting plates or blocks as you incorporate the fixative. If you have not yet checked out the Jessie Dazzle Project on this forum, do that, too.
