The paper machι objects are made by applying a series of starched wet paper bands on molds of clay, wood or fiberglass. Here again recycling is on the order: the paper comes from rejects of cement bags and cardboards. The glue is purely vegetal and dries fast under the Haitian sun. The finished product is both light weight and rigid. Once the "Sculptor" has finished his work, the object is coated with a white oil base paint and given to the artists, who apply bright acrylic colors to it. The pieces are then varnished and packed.
