PAPER MACHE HEART

Handcrafted from textural papier mache, the Paper Mache Hearts are a wonderful reminder to celebrate love. Made from recycled newspaper, they are entirely natural and sustainable. First the newspaper is mixed with water, then chalk and tree sap crystals are added to turn the substance into a clay-like material. The pulp is kneaded into chapati-like forms, then rolled and moulded into the sculptural hearts. There is no firing, no power used, and the process is entirely eco-friendly. Porous in nature, papier mache should not be exposed to liquids.
