papermason

A description of the papier-mache art form and how my business got its name. I didn't sound clear on how I did the square bowl, the mold - a square bowl was removed after the pulp dried. Go to the library and take out a book on the subject. I'm a library technician student and work in a library, they're great places to find information for different art and craft forms. So make sure you check out what you have there before you spend a lot of time and money. Research always pays off in the end.

Hi Railrodder

Thanks for your compliments; mache would be excellent - both strip and pulp methods. Mountains- tightly crumple newspaper into a mountain shape ,use lots of masking tape (Dollarama) to secure it - looks like a mummy. Cover with white glue, cover with 1/2" or wider strips of paper&glue, really pressing down to adhere it to the crumpled newspaper "mummy". Use 3 or more layers, then cover with glue again, then pulp, let dry,paint, urethane etc. I would love to see the results!
