Everything you need to know about papier mache.......2000-06-06
The book starts out with a brief history of papier mache as well as discussion of modern folk art practices. Then equipment and supplies, including choosing a mold, are covered. Several techniques including pulp making, covering a mold, using a wire armature, forming a plaster mold, creating a lino print, using a gesso base and adding a rim, handle or spout are explained. Instructions are step-by-step and include simple illustrations.
The techniques are then used in the projects. The projects include a box with lid, frame, plaque, bangle bracelet, hat, carnival mask, doll and figure. The projects are not "do exactly as I do". There are no templates and such. They simply give you basics of construction and allow you to add your own personality and creativity to the artwork.
Conveniently, there is a glossary and index as well as a list of addresses for all of the artists (most are British) in the back. If you are looking for great easy-to-follow instructions and lots inspiration this is the book for you.

Using a variety of papers, glues, molds, armatures, decorative finishes, and sealers, this project-packed book (more than 100 items) moves far beyond the grade-school approach to bring papier-mâché into the world of art. The basic pulp is a bit more complicated than the flour/water/newspaper method but still fairly easy, and it can be dyed if desired with cold-water fabric dye. Embellishment possibilities are virtually unlimited, and the wonderful projects range from elegant to folk art to whimsical and include bowls, vases, boxes, pitchers, jewelry, frames, candlesticks, clocks, mirrors, animals, and even a full-size throne chair.Customer Reviews:

Redefining Sustainable Development
Neil Middleton , and Phil O'Keefe Manufacturer: Pluto Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0745316107 |
Book Description
Development and assistance in disasters is about helping people to help themselves. It is to do with facilitating 'sustainable livelihoods' and addressing the ills of social discrimination. These seem to be self-evident propositions, in fact they are a minefield.If development workers intervene to assist in the creation of environmentally sustainable livelihoods, what judgmental codes are contained in the everyday cultural and linguistic assumptions of development practitioners? What account do they give of the environment and people's relationship to it? If livelihoods are to be economically sustainable, by which economic criteria is the judgement made? Is the objective to keep projects going until the funds run out, or, like cancer patients, to survive for five years, or to knit people into the world's trading systems? If projects are to be sustainable, they must be socially just. By whose justice do we judge? At present much development and disaster relief work derives its importance solely from providing opportunities for honing survival skills.
The authors of this book examine these questions and others in some detail and argue that the assumptions of the social-democratic world, including those of international NGOs, are tied to the perpetuation of capitalism. Middleton and O'Keefe suggest that the issue, in the face of anarchic global financial power, is to re-think the nature of class in a late capitalist world and to recognize indigenous NGOs as the new political vehicles for its struggle.

Miracle to Meltdown in Asia: Business, Government and Society
Norman Flynn Manufacturer: Oxford University Press, USA ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0198295537 |
Book Description
The crisis in Asia has caused economic hardship and brought an end to the 'economic miracle' of fast economic growth in the region. This book asks whether the 1997/8 crisis marks a break with the past and signals an end to 'Asian' ways of running economies. During the period of rapid growth there were strong connections between governments and business in the region. 'Cronyism', or close connections between family, business, and government, was exposed when the stock markets and currencies dived. Pressure from overseas investors and international organizations has produced reforms in the region. The book examines the social, economic, and political modes of governance in the region. It finds that there is a shifting balance between rule by the market, rule by connections, and rule by force. In the sphere of economic management, it shows that the period of the 'developmental state' in Japan and Korea has come to an end, but that it has not yet been replaced by a liberal market. Elsewhere the close connections between governments and business have been weakened but not yet broken. There are still special 'Asian' characteristics in economic management and in politics. The forces of 'Globalization' are strong, but they are confronted with political and economic cultures that are not rooted in liberal market ethics.Customer Reviews:

Urban Transportation Economics (Fundamentals of Pure and Applied Economics)
SMALL Manufacturer: Routledge ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 3718651696 |
Book Description
This volume is a comprehensive review of the economics of urban transportation. It presents mutually consistent models of demand, cost, pricing, investment criteria, and industrual organisation, so that they can be combined to describe equilibria of the entire urban transportation system under various policies. Models are described with genuine empirical content and international data is used to demonstrate how the models can be applied. Attention is paid to models of congestion and highway investment. The author goes beyond standard congestion models by incorporating people's choice of timing for their trips. This book is suitable for graduate students and researchers in transportation, urban economics, and related fields.

Fundamentals of Economic Development Finance

ASIN: 0761919120 |
Book Description
Public sector orientations to planning, community and social development, or local economic development often overlook the money end of the project and focus almost exclusively on the social good. Unfortunately, plans do not materialize without money. This book takes a "hands-on" approach as it guides the reader through the steps of securing the funds necessary to meet community needs for cost effective services and facilities. It examines the fundamentals of financing local economic development from the perspectives of both the private and public sector. It shows how to link public community funding and private marketplace funding and describes how private development can incorporate community programs as an asset to a development project or programs. An easy read, the book includes numerous examples, eight real-world cases, a glossary of terms, and a model local economical development business plan.
