This club was established on Jul 19, 2006, 7:30 PM after Greenwich timing in order to gather all artists who craft sculptures, masks, vases, dolls or something even more interesting by using papier-mâché techniques or people who would like to learn more about papier-mâché. Also members can submit their works and we will post them here so the artist could get more featured. I hope this club is also going to have some contests in the future. :)
For those who are like :? at the moment let me explain you shortly, what's papier-mâché all about ;).

:bulletgreen:What is papier-mâché?
Papier-mâché (French for 'chewed-up paper';), sometimes called papier-mâché, is a construction material that consists of pieces of paper, sometimes reinforced with textiles, stuck together using a wet paste (e.g. glue, starch, or wallpaper adhesive). The crafted object becomes solid when the paste dries.

A form of papier-mâché had existed in China for hundreds of years until a much stronger version (including glue) was patented by Henry Clay of Birmingham England in 1702. It was a common technique for making dolls in the 19th century, before plastics became available. Piñatas are an example, as is one of the Papal Tiaras. Constructing papier-mâché is a common craft used to entertain children.

:bulletgreen:About the paste.
Papier-mâché paste is the substance which holds the paper together. The traditional method of making paper mache paste is to add a one part water to one part flour. Some artists prefer to boil the paste, saying that it makes the consistency more smooth (water to flour ratio is changed to five parts water and one part flour in this case). Other artists use a three to one or a one to one ratio of water and white glue. Still others say that starch makes a fine paste. Also other glues may be used. Different glues give papier-mâché different qualties. Wallpaper adhesive is also good for making papier-mâché .
