Books with author Juliet Bawden

A colorful guide to this simple yet satisfying craft, with 16 stylish projects aimed specifically at the beginner, from a gem-studded brooch to a dazzling sunflower serving bowl. Filled with color photos and ready-to-use designs, now in a paperback edition. Combining the tactile enjoyment of layering and molding paper with the imaginative process of painting and finishing, papier mache can transform the most humble materials into delightful, feather-light creations. In Papier Mache, Juliet Bawden guides the reader through 16 projects using a range of papers, from old newsprint to brightly colored foils and elegant handmade sheets. Start with simple constructions, such as celestial napkin rings or a farmyard mobile, before trying your hand at a gilded bowl, a witty country clock, or a clutch of pastel tulips. The projects require only the most basic materials, and 110 step-by-step color photos clarify techniques. Also covered is a vast range of finishes--such as painting, glazing, wax resist, and decoupage--and 12 pages of pull-out templates provide all the necessary designs. Among Juliet Bawden's many books are Clock Works, Decorative Boxes, and The Hat Box. 96 pp 8 1/2 x 11 110 color photos, 40 color artworks
