Clay and coloring are added and something of the nature of glue; and it is then put into a mould. Sometimes to make it stronger for large mouldings, bits of canvas or even wire are also used. The best papier maché is made of pure wood cellulose. The beautiful boxes and trays covered with lacquer which the Japanese and Chinese make are formed of this; but it has many much humbler uses than these.
I would put a Navajo blanket on my bed & a papier maché Turkish dagger & head of Othello over my bed & pretend it was a cozy corner, that is of course if they still have papier maché ornaments, I suppose they still live in Harlem & Brooklyn. We would sit very quietly in two wicker chairs on either side of my fireplace & listen to the swollen brook in the ravine just below my window.
Upon touching a gold-mounted knob, the book-case divides, the front part of it descends; and, presto! you have as beautiful a couch as ever Sancho could have envied. This Essay bedstead is sold for four hundred and fifty dollars. Another design, with the case and bed in black walnut, the books in papier maché, and none but English essayists in the Collection, can be had for a hundred dollars.
He was still a tad disgruntled about being used as a work-horse, but he allowed this feeling to be repressed in favor of the pomp and circumstance of the parade. He was, after all, a bit of a show-off when he could get away with it. And that is a real understatement! Sir Simon the Shrew was able to construct upon the Red Wagon a magnificent papier maché image that kind of resembled Dorothy.
"But perhaps he does not speak Italian very well?" she suggested. "Mache, Potenza! Everyone speaks Italian," cried Marietta. "Indeed?" said Beatrice. "Naturally, your Grace all Christians," Marietta declared. "Oh, I did n't know," said Beatrice, meekly. "Well," she acknowledged, "since he speaks Italian, it is certainly unreasonable of him to call veal a fowl."
Cover the skull where meat was scraped from jaws. Stuff shell with tow to hold papier mache filling of limbs in place until dry. Turtles mounted in this way should be positioned upon a board, modeled with a tool into anatomical lines of neck, legs, etc., and allowed to remain wired upon the board until the compo. begins to harden.
How otherwise any one could go in among the reeds without getting up to their necks, I cannot conceive!" All was again perfectly still without. The two friends went to the open window, threw their arms over each other's shoulders, and looked out into the silent night. "Bring' häusliche Hülfe Incubus! incubus. Tritt herhor und mache den Schluss." GOETHE's Faust.
They seemed to come from the papier maché head of a grotesque serpent worn by a man who was foremost among her tormentors and wildest in his frenzied gestures. Smiling the girl stood her ground even when some of the maskers, encouraged by her attitude, climbed down from the rail and surrounded her, dancing, hallooing, leaping.
Do you think a cardinal would have a fit if a man were to dine with him in a dina giacca?" "Have a fit? Why should he have a fit, Signorino?" Marietta blinked. "Would he do anything to the man? Would he launch the awful curses of the Church at him, for instance?" "Mache, Signorino!" She struck an attitude that put to scorn his apprehensions. "I see," said Peter. "You think there is no danger?
They looked brittle and hollow, as though made of papier mache and set down in the landscape. A long four hours' noon we spent beneath a live-oak near a tiny spring. I tried to hunt, but had to give it up. After that I lay on my back and shot doves as they came to drink at the spring. It was better than walking about, and quite as effective as regards supper.
