Pretty Paper

I've got a new found love of papier mache after picking up these handmade fruit and veggies from our honeymoon in Cozumel. It is displayed in the middle of our dining room table and is a happy reminder of a wonderful trip.

These papier mache crafts are a far cry from the messy, delicate masterpieces we made of papier mache in elementary school. Do you remember blowing up balloons and then coating them with the dripping newspaper and then popping the balloons once the glue dried? This is much more of an art form.
