Paper Mache Tutorials
The Papier Mache Resource is an extensive site for and by paper mache enthustiasts. Shared are tutorials by various artists, inspirational galleries and articles.
Sally Cats tutorial by David Osborne. These are made of recycled cereal box, filled with sand or sawdust for weight.
How about this article? David Osborne considers Eggs - Their uses in papier mache sculpture. His preferred method is 'Sawing through'. Start with hardboiled eggs.
The tutorial for these little cuties by Pun Hui Falkenhainer have an interesting technique in that the facial features are drawn on a separate piece of paper and applied individually. That's a great tip! I can hardly ever get a whole face right. One eye will be cockeyed or the eyes will be good but the mouth will be awful. She uses lentils as noses.

She says it's crazy easy.
"Gold leaf is surprisingly cheap and when used with double tack mounting film, it's really easy to use. The mounting film can be cut into any design, regardless of how intricate or delicate it is. You can add gold leaf to just about any surface."

Inkjet Transfer Art
Textile artist Ruth Singer shares this tutorial for what I think of as inkjet transfer applique. Her idea is to use a whole range of different images and then cut them up and use small pieces to create a design.
Motherlode of Generosity
