Purchase options and add-ons

Over 20 diverse projects are included

Contemporary Papier Mache is a colorful collection of papier mache projects by artist and teacher Gilat Nadivi. With an emphasis on recycling everyday items to create one-of-a-kind masterpieces, Nadivi instructs readers on how simple materials, basic techniques, and a healthy measure of imagination can be combined to make a range of distinctive creations. Projects described in the book are diverse; they include human figures engaged in everyday activities, animals that are tall, small and in between, home accessories such as picture frames, bowls and magnets, and more.

Recycling is an inherent component of almost all papier mache, and Contemporary Papier Mache really takes this principle to heart. Old wires and hangers act as bases for human figures, empty rolls of tape become fashionable bangles, discarded water bottles are transformed into women's figures. After trying out a few projects in the book, readers will find their eyes open to the artistic potential waiting to be discovered in basements, garages, and recycling boxes.

Tools for these projects are minimal, and supplies are easy to find. As for guidance and inspiration, readers will find plenty of both within the pages of Contemporary Papier Macheª. The book begins with a chapter on materials that describes the supplies readers will need for the projects. This includes basic materials such as papers, glues, work surfaces and paints, as well as fabrics and other decorative enhancements. It also includes suggestions about items that can be reused (and revived!) through papier mache. The techniques chapter describes various papier mache methods as well as painting and lacquer application.

4.0 out of 5 stars This book helped my son nail his art portfolio
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2011
Verified Purchase
My son was applying to high school and we needed a 3D piece for his portfolio. He settled on papier mache and off he went. The projects were all doable and the images were very crisp and inspiring. He didn't copy what he saw in the book, but it gave him the skills to create a piece that won everyone over. I've never seen him work so hard on anything before and since this was such a slow process, it was a teachable moment; plan, plan and plan. I hope when he gets to high school, he'll have the opportunity to do more papier mache work. It allowed him to let his creativity show.

Great how to book and I highly recommend it.

I was hoping to get some useful information from this, but it is really just for kids who aren't allowed to use the internet. everything in this book and more can be found online, for free. Disappointing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Originelle Figuren und hübsche Gegenstände
Reviewed in Germany on March 14, 2011
Verified Purchase
Das Buch ist für einen Anfänger sehr zu empfehlen. Die Autorin zeigt in Schritt-für-Schritt-Bildern, wie man plastische Figuren in einer Größe von rund 41 cm Höhe erstellt. Zwar ist das Buch in englischer Sprache verfasst, aber die detaillierten Bilder reichen aus, um die Gegenstände herstellen zu können. Insgesamt befinden sich Anleitungen für 7 originelle Personenfiguren, 5 fantasievolle Tierfiguren und 12 Gegenstände wie z.B. ein Armreif, eine Schale, ein Kleiderbügel in dem Buch. Schnell kann man mit den Anleitungen auf einfache Art und Weise ein hübsches Geschenk basteln.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 13, 2012

Few papier mache books I bought have managed to inspire me but this one did! Fun projects to make which are well illustrated and explained. The beauty of this book is that whilst showing you some examples of what you can make, its clear explanations allow you to extrapolate and make your own design using their technique.

Brilliant for beginners!

Some exciting projects in here, especially the figures on the front cover, which can be customised to suit whatever characters you want to make. Clear colour illustrations.
