Papier mache is a delicate
decorative art which shows
the artistic zeal of a
craftsman. Born several
centuries ago, the art has
become highly stylized and
appealing by using real gold
and silver paint and by
adding intricate
decorations. The designs and
decorations of the Kashmiri
Papier Mache, usually in the
form of flowers and birds,
have a strong Persian
flavor. The procedure of
making paper-mache is quite
complex. The first step is
to soak papier-mache in
water till the time it
starts disintegrating. After
that, pounding of the
papier-mache is followed by
addition of an adhesive
solution to it. Then, the
blend is shaped over moulds
and allowed to dry and set.
The last step in the process
is printing and varnishing
of the papier-mache.
