The typical setup of a papier mâché instructional book usually involves the step by step construction of a specific subject, resulting in a generically finished product. However, in this book, you pick the subject, and each section will take you through universal steps necessary for the construction of your creation. This book has been written as a reference for the creative, whether you be an aspiring or professional artist. You may be simply curious to see what more you can do to enhance the inherently bulky medium of papier mâché. After you read through the chapters with their many diagrams and thorough descriptions of material uses, you will begin to see that anything can take shape by following these alternative methods, opening your mind to many possibilities! This is a resource to help you decide what to make, where to find materials and how to use them within an internal structure. Layering techniques, sanding and finishing tips for the piece lead you into the final stages of your work. It is a truly unique approach in that it encourages you to trust your own creative process by way of providing a toolbox of skills for the papier mâché artist!
