It is made from paper pulp mixed with different natural materials. To create a papier mache artefact, the artist first carves and sculpts the same with clay and sets it out to dry. After having dried the dummy, many layers of paper strips and pieces are glued to it. After the core, and the paper bit is dried, they take out the clay dummy inside, and cover it with a layer of limestone or chalk powder to colour it white.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOnce the coating is done and dried, the artist adds colours and finishing to it giving it a brilliant shiny look.
