Aurore is applying the thicker white paper, both to the outside and inside of her Window. She is using the 'still warm' flour paste. The heat of the paste helps to make this paper more pliable especially in areas where there are tricky corners or in this case the thin bars to her Window.
In this photo Spencer begins to build up the layers for a round Window.
This photo shows how we introduced wire during construction to help prevent the cardboard from bending twisting or changing shape. This as only used where there was thin unsupported areas as seen here .
Many small 'triangular cardboard sections' were glued on the inside of the walls of the Windows. This gave them addition strength and helped prevent any warping when Paper Mache was applied.
Spencer's Window.
At this stage the window is a series of cut out cardboard sections held together with parcel tape.
