About Me I would like to change the image that people have of papier mâché, by showing that there is so much more to this medium than first thought. Papier mâché is something quite recent for me, but I have always enjoyed arts and crafts from being a child. When I first started papier mâché, the best place to look for ideas was the internet. I couldn’t find any courses locally so I decided to make up my own rules. Basically papier mâché has no rules, which is another reason why I like it. I started by using torn newspaper strips over a wire netting armature and then evolved into using pulped paper that I prepare myself. I now use whatever method suits the particular project that I am doing. The most exciting project that I have done so far has to be the Big Brother heads. So many people were involved in it and it was great to work alongside them. Danni Johnson (www.dannijohnson.co.uk) was the artist who did the other six heads; Victoria and Rebecca Burr gave up their spare time to start John, Nadia and Michelle; my husband Harry who did all sorts including the painting, a bit of papier mâché, the housework, etc, Maureen and Graham Murray and Paul Calvert who provided me with packaging materials to transport the heads. Thank you all very much for your help.
