Hi, I've just discovered you and joined. Been doing sculptural papier mache in the Linares tradition for 3 years now; love it. Great group, we call ourselves Papiermachistas, due to our Mexican heritage -- not us, but our wonderful teacher, Marcella Montoya-Turnhill. She's left us to go to Spain and do her art full time, we (13 of us, many ages, many countries, all of us in West London) continue supporting and encouraging and teaching each other. Have to figure out the rest of this site to put some work up.

Meanwhile, here is my question -- it needs a photo too, don't know how to do that yet. I have a Mexican papier mache cat, about 2' tall, blue with hearts on it. I saw something in a supplement that indicates it might be quite valuable... searched the net (which is how I found this site) and discovered Gemma Taccogna, in the Galleries. Wondering if anyone can tell me who my cat is by and if it is a true collector's item.
