There are definitely ...Dan, thanks for the comment! There are definitely specific therapeutic qualities in every material or process, and my own (very limited) experience with papier-mache sculpture leads me to agree with you that it's a very evocative process. How did you get started making monsters and dragons? I'm really intrigued by your technique of using a fabric "skin."Tracy Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17494708372587358789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33877850768377231.post-38947523271185616732009-09-29T12:13:27.309-04:002009-09-29T12:13:27.309-04:00I stumbled across your blog.

After working with kids and adults for many years it is unequivocally clear to me that doing art feeds the soul. If that is too strong a word, I'd just say that art feeds people the right way. Doing it takes people out of themselves. And it allows stuff inside to erupt outside of one's self. I'm obviously biased, but my medium is one of the best for this. I've received thousands of photos from people who have made monsters and dragons who describe the experience in almost spiritual terms. It hits something deep. No question about it. Anyway, that's all I wanted to say. Good luck on your journey.<br />DanDan Reederhttp://www.greatpapermache.comnoreply@blogger.com
