Beautifully crafted, lovely detail overall, Natalie. Your information of materials used is very useful, you have used them to perfection. I've seen paper clay being made online, your work has inspired me to have a go, now.

Different. I like it. Never used paper clay, I must look into it.

Mysterious and delightfully serene. Love this

Interesting and very different, I like it.

Carol, thank you so much for your lovely comment! I'm delighted that you enjoyed the piece and found the materials information useful. Paper clay is a wonderful medium to work with, and it's surprisingly versatile. If my work has inspired you to give it a try, that makes me very happy. Wishing you lots of fun and creativity on your paper clay journey!

Lewis, thank you! I'm glad you like it. Paper clay is a wonderful medium to work with—lightweight, versatile, and perfect for adding texture and dimension. I hope you enjoy experimenting with it if you decide to give it a try!

Thank you so much, Martin, Heather, Petra, and Stephen, for your kind comments and encouragement! I'm delighted that you enjoyed the piece. It means a lot to me that the character and atmosphere resonated with you. Your support is greatly appreciated and inspires me to continue exploring this unusual blend of sculpture and storytelling. 😊

Rosalia Heartbloom from my Guardians of the Unseen series. Inspired by a familiar icon, reimagined in my own whimsical style. I currently create handmade 3D portrait reliefs sculpted entirely from paper clay, painted with acrylics, and finished with varnish. Unlike traditional paintings, these portraits have real depth, texture, and raised details. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind original, created completely by hand.
