I'm new to the art and certainly new to this site... I've searched this site and many others but have yet to find references to a magazine that deals soley with Paper Mache. There are a many that feature some article on Paper Mache, but I've yet to find the definitive magazine. Are there any out there? Thanks in advance.
(And BTW if you'll allow a bit of digression, I like to commend the authors of this site. It is absolutely fantastic. Thanks for you exceptional efforts!)
Hi Tom,
I'm sure you'll love working with papier mache. It is very addictive.
I have never come across a magazine devoted to it. Several of my papier mache designs have been published but always in general craft magazines.
Thank you very much for your lovely comments about the site. We appreciate feedback. We are adding more content soon so please come back and visit again.

Tom,
I once conducted a poll on my paper mache yahoogroup asking a if there was a magazine devoted to paper mache would people be interested.
Everyone who responded was in favor of a paper mache magazine magazine.
I wish I had the money or connections to start a magazine but I don't.
Maybe as more and more great paper mache artists get recognition
someone will create a magazine devoted to the art and craft of paper mache.
I hope so, but I think the failure rate for new magazines is somewhere down at the bottom like new restaurants.

Can give me any tips on how to sculp a bulldog and a horse out of paper mache and tips for on how to paint there face.
Hi Monica,
Your best bet is to get hold of as many pictures as you can - from all sides. If it is a real animal you are modelling, take lots of photos.
Decide how big you want to make your sculpture and build an armature out of chicken wire, cardboard or polystyrene. Cover this armature with papier mache until you have enough layers to make it strong, and have built up the shape you want. Have a look at my Basset Hound in the gallery. There are some more photos of it in the "Close-ups" and "other views" at the bottom of the gallery.
In the "Visitors Gallery" check out Jennifer Winter's superb animals for inspiration.
Don't worry about painting the face until you get to that stage. You will find it easier than you think when the model is formed. Your animal will have its own character and be unique to you. Good luck!

When you have the basic dog shape arranged you can add and thicken out parts on the face and muscles etc by soaking large sheets of paper in paste, squeeze out excess, press onto the body and add strips over it continually pressing and re shaping the dog, to give an idea of how this works see my masks, they are all produced over the same plaster cast of a friends face, then by adding to the outside the features are changed making each one different
