I am Scylla (see-lah) Earls, from Oregon, USA. I joined this site in October, took me til now to get it together to say Thank you, Jackie and Russ!  This website is brilliant, and I am so happy to find some avid papier-mache'iers to interact with.

I look forward to learning from all of you how to use the paper pulp...it has mostly annoyed me in the past (to be fair, I'm sure I annoyed it equally).

My method is to model originals in plasticine and then create positive casts by layering on newsprint and kraft paper with Modge Podge matte medium for glue. These positives can then be appliqued to boxboard structures, blended together with more paper layers, paper mosaic, etc. to make large, lightweight, and quite durable constructions.

Thanks to all for sharing your ideas and images. Very inspiring!
