[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9939725, member: 2844"]The first link Roaring posted says "carton bouilli". The literal translation is 'boiled cardboard'. I don't know the English term, but the technique is different from papier maché. Cardboard is boiled to become malleable so it can be put in a mold, in this case a dog-shaped mold. Unlike papier maché the cardboard stays in one piece and it dries under pressure, after which it can be painted. To give you an idea, old suitcases were made the same way.[/QUOTE]
