The background seen through the unpainted sections of the acetate is an example of handmade “paste paper”.
Paste paper is a surface decorating technique in which a mixture of paint and paste, (in our case, papier mache paste,) is applied thickly to white or colored paper. Patterns and textures can be created in the wet paint with tools such as combs and plastic forks, or even finger tips. This project came from Ms. Amsler's Artroom |
