I’m not sure when this love affair with papier mache will end, but I’m very much enjoying it. Next I need to paint the gapes I made from paper pulp.
More bowls
Playing with paint
Now comes the part where I get to play with paint and see how it looks on the papier mâché bowls and whatnot. I can’t lie, I love the look of the marbled paper. That was just distress paint and regular old copy paper. It looks better than I thought it would.
Squid
Here’s the first papier mâché squid.
A second one is in the works, but I’m having some trouble deciding on the color. I’ve even been tempted to add glitter. As much as I love glitter, I’m not sure that’s the right approach. Oh well, there’s no need to decide tonight.
More paper mache
The squid is nearing completion, but first, it’s a bowl made from origami paper. I really do love the collaged look of it.
More paper play
Last night I finished some jewelry and a small ball all made with pages from “Lolita.” I’m seeing more of the book bowls in my future.
