THANX looking at more and more decorative ways to incorporate into my home, like mushed papier marbled flooring, textured walls, sculpted doors and interior entryways. Working with more and more earthplaster finishes too as well as papier/ceramic clay! Love that recycle stuff the best though! Wendy

Wendy, I love your pieces. This one is particularly impressive. I'm just starting paper mache, after 30+ years making jewelry and doing other types of paper art projects. You are an inspiration to me!
I just wanted to mention to you that there is another artist on The Paper Mache Resource who is doing LOTS of things with paper mache in terms of flooring, counter-tops, etc. Her web site is papertostone.com. I don't remember her name but she has lots of pictures and examples of how to turn paper into building materials. Hope this helps your efforts.

Regards,
Leslie Ann Farrar
