Would You Like to Share Your Paper Mache Art?
Paper mache art is our passion, creating it, sharing it and looking at what other people are making. The medium is so rich and versatile that the things you can create are limited only by your own imagination. Although we've always been keen to experiment with different shapes and sizes, Annemarie and I tend to work with a limited pallet of colours. We're both very much influenced by the natural beauty of the wild African landscape but have never really worked with the vibrant colours of our continent. I keep saying I would love to do something really bright and colourful. I have these wonderful ideas while I'm making the piece but somehow, when it comes to decorating, I always revert back to my earthy tones. We want this site to really do justice to the art and craft of paper mache but we can't do that on our own. And that's where you come in.
We'd love you to share your art with us...
