RE: [teacherartexchange] casting paper a quickie using TP

We did this as a family one Christmas - only we did it in those clay
cookie molds. We used TP for the first few layers, and a brush dipped
in really watery glue... then the other layers were paper towels. They
added some support.

Later, when we did a clay project I had the kids make little clay molds
of sea shells - I fired those and we used them for paper casting.

Subject: [teacherartexchange] casting paper a quickie using TP

OK, I didn't believe this one myself until I tried it. I have a bucket
load
of rubber stamps (big foam ones), PLUS I have had kids make their own
rubber
stamps using foam sheets and cardboard (you take the thin colored foam
sheets from the craft stores, and have the kids cut out shapes for their
rubber stamps and glue them onto cardboard). I take toilet paper...good
old
TP, and tear off sheets one at a time, so you have a pile of at least 4.
Then with a makeup sponge I put one sheet of TP on the rubber stamp, and
wet
the sponge and wet the TP so it goes into the nooks and crannies of the
rubber stamp. I do this one sheet at a time with the 3-5 sheets (depends
on
the thickness of TP). I let the rubber stamp TP concoction dry over
night.
Next day, you come in, the TP pops off and you have a cast piece of
homemade
paper of the rubber stamp. If you have small stamps, you can have them
make
the casts and then combine them to make art.

Talk about making art our of strange materials!
