10A -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, April 26, 1988 Some very famous characters have stepped from the pages of classical literature and will be on display at the Scugog Library un- til May 13. The figures, some 37 in all, are crafted from papier-mache, and they are the creations of husband and wife artists Jan and Jean Baj- er. The figures are delightfully life-like, hand-painted and posed in such a way as to capture the es- sence of the characters they de- pict. Two that will surely catch your eye are Katisha and Pooh- bah, from Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Mikado." Also on display are figures from Don Quixote and Shakes- peare. | The exhibition is called Clas- sics in Papier-mache, and all the Famous people handcrafted in paper-mache ANALDA GARDEN CENTRE EVERGREENS -- TREES -- SHRUBS -- PEAT MOSS -- GARDEN CHEMICALS -- FERTILIZERS -- FERTILIZER SPECIAL i 1 5% OFF WITH THIS COUPON -y C.l.L.
