I recently wrote about avocado pits, which are so good and have tons of possibilities for creating miniatures. But bones are seasonal material. Avocado is not always on sale, and the desire to do something, to embody fantasies in new forms is almost always there. And then the most suitable and ubiquitous material is paper.
There is no discovery that paper has been and is being used for creativity by so many people. And I am no exception. From time to time there is a need to work with paper and cardboard. I wanted to make sculptures out of paper, but these are not traditional casts from papier mache, but using cardboard as the basis of sculpture, and I use paper for detailing and sometimes colors. My sculptures are made of cardboard and newsprint. paper.
Some of them are tinted to resemble ceramics, while others have color, thanks to color illustrations in magazines, which I used as a mosaic, like a collage, without resorting to paints.
Sculptures tinted with acrylic paints.
