SIX HOUR DRAGONS Recently I was offered the opportunity to develop some papier mache classes for a local art studio.

I want them to be transportable so I can move them into the garage if the weather gets particularly nasty, which can happen quite often in October in Wisconsin, so they need to be sturdy but light enough to move. Am I asking too much?  Any suggestions would be g... Read More
