By K. Platt TOP 50 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
James Cochrane uses the simple and easy technique of making papier mache to create fun sculptures. By taping newspaper together before applying strips of papier mache the whole process is rendered less time-consuming. Papier mache is a very versatile medium and this is a quick way to make larger objects.
This bright and colourful 128 page book explores this technique through 25 projects from dogs and hares (the best projects in the book in my opinion) to dragons and starfish. Each project has a character and shows Cochrane's sense of humour. He shows how to achieve character in 'creature features', a section that explores animal faces. There is even the Queen's corgi here. Another really fun project is the robot. Many of the projects are further adorned and decorated with sequins or beads.
Nicely laid out, clear instructions are beautifully photographed and presented. Useful templates for the projects are given at the back of the book. The introduction is brief and precise and further instructions are given within the projects themselves, where the basic techniques are explained. Adults and children alike will enjoy making these projects, which are also a good springboard for your own ideas. It's a great way to recycle. Not only does newspaper become a brand new useful or decorative object, but Cochrane also makes use of plastic bottles to make vases. Imagine creating a papier mache sculpture of your own dog or pet.

I totally agree, with the previous review, this is a very good book and I higly recommend it.
I would like to add that not only this book is full of clear exolanations to create lovely decorations using recycled materials, copying the suggested projects, it also has something that I couldn't find in similar books: suggestions and tips to create your own personalized items. Papier mache is a beatiful technique which allows you to do a lot of different stuff and realize your ideas, the technique itself is very simple and most of the books describing it just give an amount of projects to copy. This book gives you more, according to my opinion. I love it!

Paper Mache is a great medium to work with and very versatile. I am in the process of making the 'cow jumps over the moon' clock. The book has easy to follow instructions and plenty of illustrations. Worth every penny!!
