Paper casting

During in our collaboration last year we went paper casting and made some fabulous casts with Stephanie Spindler and Alison Newman of PULP in Glasgow.  Yesterday we had a go at casting some Japanese paper in the plaster shells with great success ...I am really excited with the results especially the thinner more transluscent shell

This one is two layers of paper

This one is three layers of paper

When placed on a printed background the detail of the shell is more pronounced.

We are aiming to adhere the cast shells to the front and back of this book  ...
