Paper Mache introduction


Hi! My name is Moni. I am an artist living in beautiful Boise, Idaho.

All of my paper mache pieces are made from 100% recycled materials, except the polymer clay eyes in a few pieces and the tape used in armature making.

I love art and I love animals, so as often as I can I like to combine my two loves.

I enjoy making any type of animal and many decorative items. I work with both strips and pulp (often on the same piece). I make the pulp myself out of recycled newspaper and junkmail. All of my armatures are made from wire coat hangers and anything else that fits my needs. I have even used Ben and Jerry's ice cream containers as muzzle armatures.
