Michael Mccaffrey’s made his first paper mache dragon trophy. Here it is with daughter Raven. Beautiful on both counts!

Dulcie Horwitz never does anything small. Below are a couple of examples. First, she belongs to a tae kwan do club and they wanted a dragon to be their mascot. So she assembled a group of volunteers and using my paper mache techniques they made it. What a beautiful dragon! Fantastic work!

Dulcie also made a paper mache dragon to accompany a story line her son was involved in at school. Here are her kids working on the dragon (great book he is using as a guide!).

And here is the dragon hanging at school.

Even better, here is “Master Gordon and Company” with paper mache dragon. Where? In the castle of course! Such fun!

I have knows Carlos for a long time. He is a great paper mache artist. He is a great artist, period. Here are some of his pieces. First, check out his Predator! Here is the face.

And here is the entire project. Here is Carlos with his Predator and his son. Wonderful!

And here is Carlos’ paper mache project along with another one of his adorable kids.

Carlos also made a great paper mache crocodile dragon! (He dedicated this project to me. I’m severely flattered. Thank you my friend Carlos!)

And his paper mache dinosaur! Excellent work!

Carlos also made this wonderful paper mache alien bust.

Here is another project made by Carlos. Magnificent!

And here is Carlos’ latest projects. A speckled bear and and condor. Excellent as always!

Thanks Carlos! To see more of Carlos’ work, check out his Facebook page.

Now here is Justin and Bonnie with their first paper mache monster “Mantenna.” Cool!

Even though these aren’t made of paper mache, they send a few photos of other work they have done, mainly with gourds! This guy is called “Salad Fingers”. Not sure what he is made of.

And here is Justin and Bonnie’s “Shrek” made out of pumpkins and paint!

And finally, here is Justin and Bonnie’s “Krang” made entirely out of gourds! Amazing.

Back to paper mache. Nicole has some pretty great paper mache creations! First, it’s always nice to have part of a beast coming through your wall!

And some eyeballs as well!

Nicole also made some cool paper mache license plate covers! Look at the mouth! So great!

And look at Nicole’s version of a paper mache piggy. I love this!

And one good piggy deserves another. This time a paper mache “Zombie Piggy”. Wonderful wonderful!

Finally, here is Nicole’s paper mache “Mini-Moose.” All terrific!

Here is Michelles paper mache snake. Very nice!

And here paper mache Owl! Excellent!

This is Austin Robinson’s first paper mache project, a Lion’s Head. I love the mane!

Look at this very cool skull that Aaron made!

Finally, here is one of Aaron’s first paper mache dragons. I think it is wonderful!

Another paper mache artist friend friend of mine, Kelvin, does some great work. First is one of my favorites. The term “Paper Mache” in the US often conjures up images of paper mache piggies made by school children. I’ve often made fun of that characterization of the medium. But I totally approve of this version. Not the smoking…but the attitude! So funny!

Kelvin also does some fantastic fish! Here are two.

And Kelvin’s wonderful paper mache dog! This is quite large.

And look at Kelvin’s Predator. Amazing rendition!

Then there is this funny little guy that Kelvin made. Not sure what it’s called.

My friend Tyson Horn teaches sculpture in his art classes. His 8th grade student, Makenna, made this fantastic paper mache dog. I love it!

This is Diann’s first paper mache monster, “Snort”. Cute!

And here is Tracy’s monster in a cage, “Petunia.” I love using old bird cages for monsters.

I love these Screamers. Travis is a professor in a university in Texas. He wrote me a very nice note (and written and sent in the mail!) a long time ago telling me that my first book, The Simple Screamer, changed his life, that he would have been an accountant, or something as dreadful (his words) if he hadn’t seen my book. He made some Screamer and it changed his life. Now he is a professor of art history. I was (still am) so incredibly flattered.

Here is Travis’ alien screamer. Look at the spaceship he is riding! So fun!

And here is his screamer on a rope. Wonderful! Thank you Travis!

Now I’ve argued that people who send me photos often look like the art they create. This is Niles with his paper mache dragon “Miguel”. Q.E.D.

Great work Niles!

I love it when teachers do paper mache with kids. It is messy and hard work. I did it for years so I know what I’m talking about. But the kids will remember those lessons forever. Josh Young had his kids make “Screamer” heads. First, here is a “Screamer Convention” (note: “Screamers” refer to the monsters from my first book, The Simple Screamer: A Guide to the Art of Paper and Cloth Mache (1984, Gibbs Smith Publisher))

And here is a sample of the individual heads.

And Emily Hamlin teaches paper mache to 6th graders. What a great bunch of kids! I got to talk to them on Skype as they were working on their projects. Again, here is a sampling of the finished pieces. I didn’t have room for all of the photos. Great job kids!
