Product Details

Product Description

From Library Journal

Modern papier-mache has come a long way from the traditional mix of wet, macerated newspapers. Today there is a commercial papier-mache that works up like modeling clay and readily lends itself to molding and painting. Fabric mache, or molding with pieces of fabric, is also made easier with the use of commercial stiffeners. The projects in this book, provided by ten designers, range from dolls to Christmas ornaments and are mainly of a type suitable for school or camp crafts. Each project has step-by-step instructions and a color photograph of the finished product. In some cases, additional pictures or diagrams of the stages of construction would have been useful. This is not an essential purchase for most craft collections and is recommended only for public libraries needing up-to-date material on this subject.

From Booklist

With the help of 10 professional artists, Cusick demonstrates what a bit of paper or fabric, glue or stiffener, and water can become. She provides written directions and color photographs for each of 100 projects, ranging from children-oriented piggy banks, jewelry, and holiday ornaments, to very sophisticated sculptures (e.g., a pink flamingo in a tub) and home accessories (e.g., a rococo clock). She assumes her readers have a certain amount of crafts knowledge, particularly a familiarity and facility with paints and crochet. Cusick concludes with a m{ƒ}ach{‚}e gallery showcasing the zenith of this craft. Barbara Jacobs --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars fun for the family April 30 2009
By sedona artist - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is a treasure trove of beautiful and fun projects in paper mache and fabrics. There is something for everyone in the family here. Picnic basket, doggie bed, figures, wall hangings, animals, planters, bowls, jewelry are just a few of the 100 projects in this book. Full color photo's and instructions to follow or use as a springboard for your own imagination. My stash of fabric remnants from quilting has come in handy. I have made accessories for the bedrooms that match the quilts. There are plenty of projects for the kids too. Piñatas, beads for jewelry making, hats, Halloween and Christmas ornaments. It's been a great outdoors activity at the picnic table for me and the kids. I'm going to make the Victorian style boxes next. The kids want to do the honey bear and a clock for their dresser. Plenty of delightful projects for the family and friends this summer.
