I bought the
Big Ass Book of Crafts a while back and found some good recipe's for paper maché. So, recently I worked on a
Horse for the
Chico Palio in paper maché but decided my technique could be updated. Our horse was built with cardboard skeleton and wrapped newspaper with final glue and newspaper maché. In a quick search on technique I came across this guy, Dan Reeder (paper maché project pictured) at
Paper Maché Blog and
Gourmet Paper Mache discovered just how clay-like paper maché can be!
He has a step by step photo blog of many projects he works on. Some of the dragons were beautiful! And he uses a cloth maché for a softer looking finish, which I love the look of. The Big Ass Book of Crafts describes making a paper clay like substance good for soothing and clay like sculpting. I will certainly use this mix of information for my next project in paper maché sculpture.
