Hi all,
I've recently discovered the wonderful world of paper mache! I made one monster and I have a pix of an unfinished pumpkin for Halloween. I'm currently working on 2 more monsters, 2 or 3 more pumpkins and a skull ;D

Check it out. :D
It looks like you have been having great fun!
I remember having an art class in high school on that. Unfortunately back then the "stuff" looked just like what I had for breakfast (oatmeal or cream of wheat). LOL :D
What fun!!! Love it....
That's a fantastic monster - and I love the rhyme.

The mache or the project? :D :D :D
The paper mache stuff still looks like white barf. :D I make my own along with the clay. I'll post another link when I get them painted and finished.
Just as long as my project doesn't look like cream of wheat! ;D
Paper Mache recipe
6 cups white flour
1 cup starch
1 cup white glue
my starch:
1/2 cup corn starch mixed with 1/2 cup of COLD water.
Boil 2 cups of water and add cold mixture and like magic starch appears! I refrigerate what I don't use.
Clay (for outside the mache)
6 cups mache paste
1 cup joint compound
