Several years ago I made a bowl and I wanted to decorate it ,not only by colour but I did not want a very flat surface on the whole bowl.
I took pulp,putted it between to pieces of waxpaper,and made it very flat with a rolling-pin.
Than I made structure(?)to it with a fork.
When this thin "piece' was dry,I could cut it with scissors in squares (or circles or whatever you want)and add to the bowl.First I made it a bit wet,putted some pulp under the cutted piece and " glued "it on the bowl.Than a very thin layer(??)of thin pulp around to soften the cutted line.
Now I am experimenting with this technique again,it is great to make beads and jewellery too.You can make the decoration with whatever you want or find.I love my kitchendrawers to find things.You can stamp with ballpoints, the back of a pencil ,anything you like.
For the beads you can cut long triangles , put white glue or paverpol on the bottem ,then roll them round a stick.You have to make it a bit wet first,otherwise it want bow.For jewellery you can make flat pieces too.
It is nice to try things.

Yes, papier mache seems to be limited only by your imagination.
Sometimes, you will see or read something, and think, "Why didn't I think of that?!"
