Birds - Hand carved and cast paper sculpture. Teaching of carving and cast paper sculpture
| |  |
 | | Using a knife, my birds are carved from basswood (unless otherwise stated). After the piece is carved to shape, feather groups are carved in and within those groups, individual feathers are formed. The piece is then textured with a wood burner and/or texturing stones to simulate feather detail and finally, painted with acrylic paints to create the soft look of the bird in the wild. |
 | | A cast paper sculpture is one of the most exciting new art forms in the world today. It begins with an image being created as a 'bass relief' sculpture in plasticine. The intent is to produce a cast paper print of the image in a limited edition of impressions. |
 | | Mother Nature created beautiful pieces of driftwood - artwork in itself. By sculpting a bird onto it's surface, a unique collectable transpires which can be hung on the wall. I use acrylic paints to add realism and life. |
 | | Ornaments are miniature hand made cast paper sculptures which are subsequently coloured in gold, silver, red, green or combination. |
 | | The feather pins are hand carved from tupelo gum wood, textured with a wood burner and painted with acrylic paints to replicate the original bird feather. |
