  Synopsis Details Contents Reviews  
Papier mache objects are created from layers of pasted paper, or from pulped paper mixed with paste, and can be constructed around a variety of frameworks. This book presents ten projects which explore different techniques simply and clearly. It discusses how to make picture frames decorated with modern paint techniques, jewellery made from shredded newspaper and glue, and even a toadstool novelty clock. In addition there is a Faberge-style egg decorated with jewels and beads, wrought-iron-effect curtain pole finials and a practical Mediterranean bowl, all created using the basic materials of paper and paste.
