Papier Mache skill has been creatively
practised by crafts persons from all over Orissa. Paper, waste cloth and different
kinds of natural fibres are soaked and beaten into pulp, then mixed with a variety
of seeds and gums for strength and as protection from termites. Special clays
and bio-wastes are added for body and reinforcement.
The enitre process results in a medium so malleable that it requirs little skill
to be moulded into countless forms. However, despite its versatility this craft
has remained neglected.
