Description
Papier mache is delicate decorative art, which showcases the artistic zeal of a crafts man. Items of papier-mache include Boxes ( Flat, oval, round, octahedral boxes, meter boxes, powder boxes, pencil boxes, jewel boxes, etc.),Bowls, pencil cups, containers, letter racks, coasters, trays, wall- hangings ( balls, stars, bells, pentaglass, other Christmas hangings), Easter eggs, etc.

This unique craft of papier-mache involves the use of paper pulp for creating beautiful artifacts painted by an expert craftsman. This paper pulp is mixed with gum and then mounded on the frame to produce a raw papier-mache product which is then painted by an expert craftsman. The painting made on these papier-mache products includes life-like images of kingfishers, maple leaves and other beautiful motifs. The ingenious papier-mache artisans of Kashmir transform a variety of utility articles into rare art pieces.

The creation of papier-mache objects can be divided into two distinct categories, the sakhtsazi (making the object) and the naqashi (painting the surface). The colors for painting designs on the surface are obtained by grinding and soaking various vegetable mineral dyes in pigments or stone form. The final product is a beautiful art work that cannot be called a creation of one artist. It travels many pairs of talented hands before reaching to its destination. Above all other talents, the aesthetic sensibility and hereditary skills are most essential in these craftsmen.
