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….

Sandra, Stefano

Raha, Ranya

Paisli, Eliza

Maddy, Reagan

And check out this double headed beauty by Sarina Kii

Isobel, Adalynn

Another double headed dragon by Finn, Aleksandra, Idela

Fabiola

Erumi

Amira, Talia

Abdullah, Nathaniel

Aamna, Natasha

To top this all off, here is a full dragon made by Tameem, Nicole, Lia, Tala, and Christa. Fantastic! Congratulations!

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!

And here is Mark’s “Tree Demon.” Almost calm by comparison, but still lots of intensity. Excellent work!

Katie Glenn Trusiak made this fantastic dragon for Halloween! What an amazing piece of art! What lucky neighbors! Here are some photos of the dragon in the day and the night. Wonderful!

Karen teamed up with another paper mache friend of mine, Diane Sorensen, in a dragon-making challenge for charity. Very cool idea! You can see both dragons in process here.
