I haven't yet attempted making papier-mâché furniture but do know of some artisans who have done this (i.e., small side tables, chairs, etc.). It's fairly challenging & also takes a good deal of strategic planning because structural integrity is an issue. Items are typically reinforced with other materials like corrugated cardboard, wire, etc. Think I'll stick with the smaller items for now.🤣

The idea is to make beautiful-but-practical items for the home. So, in other words, these papier-mâché projects hopefully aren't anything like the ones many of us remember making in elementary school.😂 Yeah, so nothing like those papier-mâché balloons that never dried, papier-mâché + coat-hanger wire Pterodactyl mobiles, or "I-think-it's-a-cat-no-wait-it's-supposed-to-be-a-monkey" childhood art installations.🤣

Also useful is a dedicated blender for easier pulp processing + a sieve, pitcher, & rectangular tub for making paper sheets. (If you can repurpose an old blender or DIY a mould & deckle using old picture frames, all the better.) For drying, clotheslines/drying racks/clothespins/tables can be useful. In addition to papermaking & bookbinding, I upcycle paper scraps into paper clay figurines + other papier-mâché creations.

A lucky squirrel with a golden acorn (painted gold, with glitter--still a lucky find) in a vintage frame

I'll be making these Bigfoot / Yeti ornaments all week because: I am artist.

Made some progress today on the Dolphin-Legs sculpture today and next week I want to start sanding it before getting to the shins, feet, and knees!
