Welcome to the Land of Ish and our segment on Making Small Sculptures or Dolls using our technique with paper and wood putty.

New Set Complete! March 2021
Welcome to the completed new set for the Land of Ish. Previous videos demonstrated how we made the papier mache moon and star, and the seed that started the idea off in the first place...a found coconut hull, which I painted and imagined into this scene. In this video, I cover how I created the other elements in the overall set. Please use these techniques to build interesting environments for your room or classroom. Like this video and subscribe!
Papier Mache-Feb 2021
IWelcome to the Land of Ish and our journey to building a new set. Today, we focus our attention on my own technique for paper mache (or papier mache). In this video, we will build the star and the little basket beneath our hot-air balloon. I will also introduce you to how I will build the moon, which will require a hand-made armature. Please follow me if you'd like to learn how to build your own light, semitransparent, paper mache sculpture, or if you'd just like to check in and see how our new set is coming along.

Make a Worm Bin.
The Land of Ish would like to welcome you to learn about building the perfect worm bin. You can start composting as soon as you set up this easy inexpensive ecosystem for worms. Why is composting so great? Just watch the documentary, Kiss the Soil, on Netflix and see why good composting helps build soil and helps the environment. In this video, you will learn how to make a simple garden compost bin. In case you live in an urban area, I will give you tips on how to make a patio worm bin. It's dirty and stinky, but can be done with the right level of consistent maintenance.
