Paper Artists
June 30, 2007 |
[-art, handmade paper-]
My own beginner’s interest in the possibilities of handmade paper led me to start looking at artist’s who work with this medium. Below are works from three who take the raw material of handmade paper and make it into much more.
The variety is indeed inspiring.

Elaine Kerr does mixed media art. One of the mediums she’s turned her artistry to is handmade paper. She uses the pulp in molds to make paper objects. Above you see the beautiful result of one of her shell pieces. Visit her at Art of the Found Object.
Iablotchki is an artist and art teacher in Russia.

As you can see above, she seems to literally paint with paper in her representational paper art. Iabltochki also does amazing tapestries. Please visit her flickr site, here. And her personal site here.

Rose Clancy does vessels in paper mache that she makes mainly from egg cartons. She also uses other materials such as found objects and cardboard in her unique work. Her bas relief Sunscenes below are gracing our Home page this week. Please visit her blog: Paper Works and her flickr site.
