Craft Book: Cloth-Mache' Sculptures and Finishes
by Marian and Joe Tofel
1968 Craft Course Publishers
24 Pages

People have been making draped madonnas, angels and wise men for years, using starch, wheat paste and other glues. It is not that "cloth mache" is a new craft; the newness lies in the many variations and departures in subjects and in finishes developed by the authors and described in this book for you.

Figurines are created following certain basic rules. When finished, they resemble metallic sculpture or ceramic pieces. This finishing technique, plus the unique subject material, makes this a versatile and decorative craft to try.

Greek warriors, Three Musketeers, Mother Goose characters, Cowboys, and old fashioned turn-of-the-century type figures may be created. You can flip thru the pages of any magazine and see possibilities for other figures. This technique has been used in bas-relief for wall decor. Perhaps this book will inspire you to step out into the wide world of cloth-mache' sculptures.
