Thanks so much for posting this! Like Kate Stevens post I too saw your post and your gorgeous bowls and wanted to do this. It took me at least a year. A student of mine suggested doing papier-mâché and I remembered your work and created a couple couple this morning. Thanks so much!

First I wanted to tell you I saw your bowl project about a year ago and filed it in my mental “things i love” section of my brain. Now i am in the midst of student teaching and am going to do this project with 2nd graders using magazine pages etc. I had to make some for myself too, of course.. so have started using old drawings and paintings that i did in my sketchbks. years ago, and ripping, rearranging them for the bowl covering. It feels great to have a new way to use old art in a new way.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Been making these bowls since I saw this…my favorites are out of tissue paper, so fragile though. Also used sheet music, the tiny bowl is just perfect to hold my rings on the piano when I practice. Using flat bottomed glasses as a base, wine bottles too…scouring the kitchen cabinets for more ideas.

Just discovered this tutorial and have completed it with my six year old daughter. We have loved it and now have to wait patiently for 18hrs!!
Thanks very much.

I love the idea of using found and favorite paper sources to create paper mache bowls. And to think I was going to get rid of the old college books!!!
