Scrunch & Sculpt -
Over the years I have created many puppet show props and lovely large puppets by using the traditional papier mache method of dipping pieces of paper into a paste mixture to cover the sculpted shape. I have tested out various glues, sealers, paints and finishes for all the projects, and I just love the feel of the paste and the textures created. From huge puppet snow forts, witch's cauldrons and trees, down to rocks and miniature cakes, all were enjoyably crafted using a papier mache method.
