Each of these pieces is hand built and one of a kind. The technique is the same one most of us used as children: strips of newspaper dipped in diluted white glue are layered into an existing mold or onto a cardboard armature. The
faux bois is made from paper pulp.
Decoration combines painting and decoupage.
All of these pieces are lightweight and strong.
They are varnished and water resistant. The tables are functional. These pieces are easy to care for and with
a little attention will last beautifully for a long,
long time.

For several years we've designed papier mâché pieces that are heavily decorated with flowers, greenery, birds, animals, and insects. It's fun making one-of-a-kind pieces but it seems a shame to develop the motifs and then use them only once. So now, in addition to the papier mâché, we've produced a collection of cards and personal stationery where you'll find all the colors and little details that decorate the bowls, vases, and tables.
