Gourmet Paper Mache

I’m always thrilled when people use my books and videos and to make something they love.   Here are more photos sent to me from people doing paper mache.  If you would like to share a paper mache project on this site, send it to me at:  dan@gourmetpapermache.com.

My friend Stephane has made some amazing paper mache projects.   But his birds are simply stunning.   Here is his paper mache “Harfang”.  Wow.

And here is Stephane’s paper mache Eagle.  Unbelievable!

Stephane also makes great paper mache dragons.   Below are three.

Stephane calls this one “Lildragon”.

And his third, green masterpiece.

Oh, and Stephane also made this paper mache unicorn.  Very nice work!

I have another friend, Lyman, who makes incredibly strange and wonderful paper mache pieces.

Here is his “Dispenserator”.

And here is Lyman’s “Hindenbug”

And his “Stalag Tiger”.  I love this creepy things that hang from the ceiling!

But this is my favorite of Lyman’s paper mache projects.   This is his full sized “Gluk” from the ground breaking video game “Odd World”.   This is just spectacular.   You can see more of Lyman’s art here.

I love this.   Here are a self-described “bunch of Librarians” who used my dragon-making book to make dragons for their libraries.  Congratulations (from left to right) Betty, Judy, Sarah, Merrill, and Lena.

Here is Barb with her paper mache “Grumpfish”.   I love the staging!

This is Lisa’s paper mache Dog.  Cute!

Then there is Margot’s paper mache “Mr Rat”

and her “Franky Baby”  and “Clown”

Below is Joseph’s paper mache “Izzy” and Barney (you can figure out which is which)

Here is Martina’s paper mache dragon.  Very cool!

Here are two of David’s paper mache projects.   “Bad Santa” (Indeed) and his Gorilla mask.

Here is Angie’s first paper mache project.  His name is “Booger”.  Cute

Look at Marc D’s amazing paper mache snake “Nessie!”

and Marc’s paper mache “Wildwood Willy”

Here is another paper mache dragon made my Randolph.  Excellent!

Randolph also made a couple of cool fish.  A yellow one…

…and a blue one.

Check out Bridget’s paper mache gargoyle.  Excellent!

Tony made a cool paper mache dinosaur head and a monster in a cage.

Here are some great paper mache pumpkins made by Ljgato.

Chrissy made a couple nice paper mache pieces.  Her Bird Marionette…

and her Sea Dragon.  Great job!

Finally, here are some paper mache projects made by students.  First, from Renee Capp’s art classes (County High School, Taylorsville, Kentucky)

And Nancy’s elementary art class.  They made traditional “Screamers” (from my book The Simple Screamer– 1984)  I feel like a grandparent looking at these Screamers.  (P.S. Can you find Nancy?)

Fantastic!

These photos remind me of my early “Screamer” classes.  What fun!  What a mess!  I think teachers who take on a challenge like this are saints.  All kids should have an experience with paper mache!
