Papier maché project.
This project has been on my to do list for a while. I kept the colorful graphic sheets from last year's tear-off calendar by Karel Martens.
I started the first layer with an old IFFR filmfestival newspaper, covering the base of a table lamp.
I made the glue paste with 1 part flour and 2 parts water.
It's a precise messy and sticky job, however trust the process.
After drying overnight I could start the second phase with some more layers today, this time with the brightly colored calendar sheets.
So far I am pleasantly surprised with the result. The papier maché lampshade and base have already turned out wonderfully beautiful. I can hardly wait until the table lamp is ready for use!
