A very curious piece of Teotihuacan is the crazy hen, 250-350CE. Pieces of red spondylus shell are used as feathers. Its body is made of ceramic, eyes are made of green stone. It seems to be a representation of a quail. The most interesting thing is that it breaks the Teotihuacan aesthetic canons.

More spring snow.

A scrap of bark with coarse fibres wrapped round to form a widely spaced warp. Hairy, roughly spun sheep’s wool is being threaded through as weft. In the background is yellow light from a couple of lamps.

Evening’s entertainment. Nettle warp (bought). Sheep’s wool weft (foraged from a gorse bush).

Thank you!! 😄

Awww thank you!! 🥹💕

Three paper mache gremlin figures standing on a white surface, with ceramic pots and dried plants in the background. They all wear bright and colourful speckled cloaks or capes: one orange and red, one teal or green-blue, and one bluish purple. They have a neutral expression on their faces, and have little freckles and huge gremlin ears.

These three little gremlins are waking up for spring after a long winter spent hibernating in the burrow!

Handmade from coarse paper mache with glass beads for eyes, painted with acrylics. This trio and other sculptures can be found in my shop at shop.crumplings.co.uk. :)

A gray harbor seal with dark spots is perched precariously on a single, rounded rock protruding from the ocean. The seal is in a "banana pose," with its head and hind flippers lifted upward while its belly rests on the stone. The surrounding water is cool-toned and choppy, with small white waves breaking against the base of the rock. The background shows a vast, slightly blurred expanse of gray-blue sea under overcast lighting.

Hello #portfolioday 🤸‍♀️
I'm an artist from Spain who adores painting portraits and lately has found a refreshing shelter in dollmaking. I work with simple materials such as recycled fabric and clay, not even a sewing machine involved :)

A paper mache bear sculpture in bumblebee colours, with iridescent-looking wings and long antennae from metal wire and beads. It is sitting on a white windowsill.

A fox sculpture made from coarse paper mache sitting on a windowsill with curtains and plant pots in the background. The fox is peeking from inside a snailshell painted in greenish and muted purple and orange hues.

A paper mache gremlin figure standing against a white background in front of a driftwood branch and decorative dried oats. The figure is dressed in warm clothes, including mittens, boots, and a cloak, and wears a wide-brimmed pointy hat. He is also holding a rake and a watering can.

A turquoise / light blue paper mache elephant sculpture with huge butterfly ears, painted in rainbow colours. It also has antennae made from metal wire, and is standing on a white windowsill in front of a candle and an unpainted wood cutout conifer forest.

Hi #PortfolioDay!! I'm a sculptor based in Scotland primarily working with paper mache.

I like to explore playful & fantastical concepts and creatures, or sometimes just humble little guys going about their day in some whimsical faraway world. :)

Here are some goblin faces from something I am drawing currently.

A dramatic landscape photograph of a large snow-covered mountain reflected across a calm body of water. The lower slopes are covered in rocky terrain and trees rendered in deep magenta and pink tones, characteristic of infrared or cross-processed film photography. The water appears deep purple, and the sky has a muted olive-green cast. Likely the Scottish Highlands.

Anni looking relaxed in the rhubarb bed, lying comfortably with her tongue out and eyes half closed.

The rhubarb is already big enough to make a cosy den.

Thank you, will be painting them today I think! :)

Thank you!! 🥰

Three unpainted paper mache gremlin figures with huge ears and black glass eyes, standing in bright sunlight on a desk. In the background you can see ceramic containers and a paper mache pot holding decorative dried plants and twigs.

More gremlins for #WIPWednesday! 😄

These little sweethearts will be painted with very transparent acrylic inks, so the paper mache white shines through and the surface texture remains visible. :)

Throwback from December? Nope! We had a classic Vermont spring cold snap and snowstorm today. Everyone stayed cozy in their coats and snuggled in their beds though and it will melt off soon. ❄️❤️☺️
