Here is a truly unique and exciting folk art that makes people want
to call Aunt Mary in Des Moines and tell her how easy it is. You
can almost learn it over the phone. Created and named by Mary Lou
Cook, pastecraft is simple and fun for the ?veriest? beginner, as
the author says. Using paste, fabric and shellac to cover solid
objects, PASTECRAFT is practical, creative and absolutely no-fail.
It can transform throw-aways into something of beauty for gifts and
home decorating. One can cover old trunks, suitcases, books, the
refrigerator, frames, coffee tables, trays, file cabinets, and on
and on and on. This book is a ?must? for every home, classroom and
therapist?s office. It brings ideas, inspiration, self-esteem, and
joy to the maker, and it even convinces the so-called
?non-creative? person that he or she can truly do wonders with
simple ingredients. And, included in this book is almost forty
pages devoted to calligraphy, including instructions, ideas,
quotes, and broadsides that can be reproduced for framing. MARY LOU
COOK, a.k.a. MLC, is a true Renaissance woman, a master teacher,
author, calligrapher, nuclear waste activist, inspirational
speaker, Bishop of the Cloth, peace advocate, philosopher,
bookbinder, needlewoman, counselor, and designer. And, to top it
off, she has been named a Santa Fe Living Treasure. MLC has
received many national and international honors and awards, and is
often featured in book and the media. She calls herself an
octogeranium. A rare flower indeed!
