Papier Mache Treasures: Creating Your Own Vintage-Style Collectibles

Papier Mache Treasures: Creating Your Own Vintage-Style Collectibles by Flanner, Teena. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781600591723.

Open the doors of celebrated artist Teena Flanner’s studio and an astounding sight will greet you: a glittering vision of vintage-inspired papier-mâché figures, reminiscent of treasured keepsakes from long ago. Now, for the first time ever, Teena reveals her unique techniques for making these wonderfully nostalgic creations: her secrets for working with and making molds; for mixing, pouring, drying and finishing the papier mâché; and for getting great effects with paint, glitter and other embellishments. Forty projects, organized by season, include darling rabbits, baby chicks, lambs, and a flower basket for spring; summery seashells and a mermaid; a fall harvest of turkeys, pumpkins, and a fruit bowl; and a wintertime celebration of sparkling trees, snowmen, Santas, and ornaments.
