Review

This book of papier-mвché projects, ranging from the simple to the
ambitious, discusses all forms of this art and includes an extensive
section of finishing techniques. In the process, McGraw, an illustrator
and designer, shows the tremendous scope for creativity the craft
offers. Clear instructions along with step-by-step color photos, make
papier-mвché accessible and rewarding for people of all ages. The
varied array of projects—which include animals, bowls, paperweights,
monsters, and many home-decor items—generate medium-to-large
figurative objects and feature methods that are easier, stronger, and
more appropriate than those many of us learned in school. A
“Papier-mвché Basics” box serves as a quick reference and includes
helpful tips. Each set of instructions also provides a large photo of
the finished project.
