Let the paper sticking begin!

No doubt you are wanting to know how my attempt at papier mache went (not)?  Well,  I have to say, it was great fun.  First up, I made a small bowl using a stainless steel bowl mould but for my second, larger project, I took the plunge and started a shallow dish using sculpted chicken wire.  I haven’t finished either of my pieces but I fully intend to complete them over the next couple of weeks.  Some of my fellow crafters undertook ambitious projects, including creating a pig and a belted Galloway.  My appetite for further crafting has been whetted!

Papier mache!

I’ve been invited to a “papier mache” workshop tomorrow and despite not having an artistic bent, I’m going to attend.  I’m going to go along as much out of curiosity as anything else, for I’ve seen some glorious papier mache items when researching on the internet . I’m interested to see how achievable they are for someone whose last efforts were making a dubious model of a volcano out of papier mache and chicken wire with our daughter when she was in Junior School. If nothing else, I’m sure I can create a simple bon-bon dish with minimal artistic talent
