    We have a lady, Cherri Craty, in Asheville who uses paper pulp on canvas and applies it with a porcupine quill!

    I love working with paper mache. Very good video for a 4 minute dragon.

    great info, I have just found a book on this subject in a second hand store, lots of projects but basics are kind of assumed. Thanks for filling in the gaps

    I have heard that paper mache can actually be used to make furniture...I am going to try a shelf and see.

    I have done paper mache with strips, but have always wanted to use the pulp. Thanks for the impetus!

    Great lens. I've never worked with paper mache but I think I should rectify that soon

    You bring back fun memories of when I was making mountains with Paper Mache mountains. It's definitely something I'll try with my 4 year old. Thanks for the lens 5*

    It's probably just done with glue. Water down white glue until it's easily brushable and use a paintbrush to apply glue to the doilies. Not knowing exactly what the figures look like I can't be more specific about how they may be constructed.

    Hi, this is a beautiful lens...but I have a question! For years we have decorated for Christmas, using paper mache figures...angels, rich wisemen etc. they stood about 18 inches tall and seem to be made with paper doil1es decorative paper! I have been looking for years in craft stores for some directions, but have yet to find any.I am an artist and would love a little blurb of intro and tutorial and get to building. Do you think you could help?

    Those dog photo's show me that our own paper mache projects have a bit to go.

    Great fun can be found right here! My girls love any project that involves getting their hands dirty. I can't wait to give your recipes and ideas a try. We watched the Fishwichwich video a while back and were amazed by the process.
