Paper Mache Fish
These papier-mâché objects are made by applying a series of starched wet paper bands on molds of clay, wood or fiberglass. The paper comes from rejects of cement bags and cardboards. The glue is purely vegetal and dries fast under the Caribbean sun. The finished product is both light weight and rigid. Once the sculptor has finished his work, the object is coated with a white oil base paint and given to a painter, who applies bright acrylic colors to it. The pieces are then varnished and packed. Our paper mache sculptures put some colors, warmth and fun in the home decor.
