Your Paper Mache – Page 40

I’m always thrilled when people use my books and videos to make something they love. Makes me feel like a grandpa to these projects. Here are some more photos of paper mache art people have sent to me. If you would like me to post your photos, send them to me at, dan@gourmetpapermache.com. Enjoy!

Ryan Pace is an art teacher at the American School of Doha in Qatar. He took on a very ambitious project with his students this year. Ambitious is actually understated. I know how difficult it is to teach a paper mache class to many students. I is very messy and requires a lot of discipline, by both teacher and student. His class made dragon trophies (and one full dragon). This is appropriate because the mascot of the school is a dragon. These are “American School Dragons!” And the results were spectacular! Below are photos of only a few. I couldn’t post every one of the dragons. But this is a very nice sample! Note that many projects were team efforts. The artists are listed above the pieces shown. What lucky kids to have such a dedicated teacher. And Ryan is very lucky to have such motivated, talented students!

First, a look at the dragons on display in the school! How great is that?!

Now, in no particular order….

Mark Bradford is an amazing paper mache artist. Here are a couple of his most recent pieces. The first is a lamp called “Billy the Kid.” Wonderful!

And here is a few views of his more serious piece called “The Dog Faces of Guadalcanal”. Incredible.

On a lighter note, here are some older pieces of Mark’s. First one is called, rightfully, “Machine Gun Monkey.” Brilliant!

And this monkey isn’t Mark’s only masterpiece. Here are a couple more. First, his “Cheyenne Dog Soldier in Ghost dance attire.” Such detail!

Your Paper Mache – page 22

I’m always thrilled when people use my books and videos and to make something they love. Here are more photos sent to me by people doing paper mache. If you have paper mache art that you would like me to display just send them to me at dan@gourmetpapermache.com. Enjoy!

I have to start with Jack. I love this photo. After watching my Paper Mache Sea Dragon video he decided to make his own mother dragon with baby. I think he did a magnificent job!

Below is Ailyn Nannig’s paper mache dragon. Look at the size of this! What a great piece!

It deserves a close-up. So cool!

My friend Janet is an Advanced Calculus teacher by day. By night she makes monsters! Both are important life skills!

She just finished her first dragon trophy. Excellent!

She got a hold of my “Make Something Ugly” book. It described a project with heads in a jar. Janet decided to make some.

Adorable. Below are more of Janet’s paper mache art. A basic Screamer! Cute

Janet’s pterodactyl in a cage.

Her fish (in a plastic block)

Her Screamer martini! So fun

And another magnificent dragon.

Janet has been at it again. This time a three headed dragon. Photos just don’t do this justice. She designed circuitry for this so that the eyes light up in all three heads, and they also cycle through different colors! Just amazing.

Below is Robert Bunker’s paper mache “expired ouphe” (mummified Fairy). Very cool!

This is Trevor’s first paper mache dragon head. Very nice!

And check out the paper mache costume Rebecca Brissette’s made for her horse! Yes, it’s Maleficent! Amazing. Love her costume too. And I love the photo.

Below is Miguels’ paper mache dragon trophy. He named it “Shenron”. The eyes light up as well. Cool!

This is different…. look at Bryan’s paper mache “Santa Cruz Skate Hand”. Very nice!

Here is another of Bryan’s paper mache art pieces. Love the eyes in the hands of this monster!

Here is another great paper mache dragon trophy, this time made by Casey. Excellent job!

My friend Don Hagemeyer has been making great paper mache art for a while now. Look at his “Bird Eater”

And here is one of Don’s Screamers.

And Don’s paper cache “Frog.” Very cute!

It’s the Christmas season and Don made an adorable little snowman for his niece Layla. His name is “Olaf.” Wonderful gift.

This is Shawn’s paper mache dragon trophy. Beautiful!

Below Bryan Kyle’s paper mache mask. He just finished it for Halloween. Wonderful!

Kamila Plicha is from Poland. Here is her first paper mache dragon. Love the colors!

Kamila also made this fantastic mask! Lovely!

Here is Seth Bleeker’s paper mache dragon. Very nice job!

Here is Paul Disdle’s paper mache dragon trophy. Very nice job!

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. Note: Partly because of my trophy videos that went viral (and my books showing how to make them) I’ve received many photos of paper mache dragon trophies. They are all great. There are quite a few on this page.

Here are the first two dragon trophies made by Andy Matthews. Excellent work!

Andy also made this great Panda for his nephew as part of an endangered species project.

Below is Hunter Wickersham’s. I love these colors. Great look on the face. Fabulous!

Of course I get other wonderful paper mache project photos as well. Here is Laura Moleman’s adorable little elephant.

And here is Dara’s paper mache “IMEddie” head prop. Very cool.

Here is Jim Popp’s paper mache “Voltathrax the Wicked”. Great job!

Not all paper mache trophies are dragons. Check out Ashley’s paper mache unicorn! Wonderful!

Bob Sigsbury runs a pawn shop with many animal trophies hanging on the walls. He decided to make his own trophy, a paper mache dragon! Perfect!

Bob also made a fantastic paper mache pumpkin. Every day is Halloween when you have something like this!

Look at Laura Moleman’s first paper mache project, a very cute elephant that she gave to a little girl. Adorable!

Below is Vicki’s paper mache dragon trophy. Very nice job! It looks like a brother or sister is close by!

Here is Catharine Kennedy’s paper mache dragon. It’s tricky to get a dragon to stand. Nice job!

And here is Catharine’s second dragon.

And her third!

This is Arnie’s paper mache “ice” dragon trophy, complete with crystals. Cool (literally)!

And this is Kel’s paper mache dragon trophy. I love the colors, and the intensity, of this piece! Excellent!

And look at Arial and Leah in the new paper mache witch masks that their dad, Steven made! Adorable.
