Today's post includes a number of links on the internet that provide excellent instruction, examples, and fun ideas for paper mache. 

The first one Ultimate Paper Mache is maintained by artist Jonni Good, who has been adding posts and tutorials to her blog since November, 2008. Jonni does a super job of staying up to date. She publishes books too!

The link directs you to a particular technique-- smoothing right before painting.

Wow this next link is incredible. Why am I even creating a blog? This one has everything!

This page would provide lots of inspiration and instruction for the Clifton Forge, Virginia Con of the Mountain scheduled for Fall 2016.  http://www.conofthemountain.com/ 
  
I was especially pleased to find this post about creating masks using the planes of the face http://www.instructables.com/id/Awesome-Polygonal-Mask/

The third link for today features one artist's experiments with materials. It's a little bit old, but shows the artist's processes for her MFA theis 2010. I have enjoyed reading it.
