inspired by gustavo aimar

I love love love everything Gustavo Aimar creates. I mean seriously, how cute are these?!? And his illustrations? Darling. He makes wonderful collages too.  But after seeing his paper mache bird, I had a sudden desire to try my hand at some paper mache type play. Above you see an owl, and here's a birdie:

and a mushroom in progress...

Lots of ideas in my head. finding the art of paper mache a bit tricky, but a fun challenge. Going to keep having fun this way until I get it out of my system! Might have a few of these for sale at artFIBERfest too...

I just found this youtube link if you want to see more of the amazing Gustavo. Enjoy!

Pam - I am so in love with that owl - that is the cutest darn thing. I haven't done paper mache since grade school - it has obviously grown up! Love it. Thanks for sharing the youtube link.

Hi Pam

I'm a new visitor, discovered your work in Stampingtons Art Journal magazine. Your birdies are adorable.

Will have to visit the links you mentioned.

Best wishes

Billie :)

Ahhh! Love the bird, owl and mushroom. I agree they would make an adorable mobile. I am working on a nursery right now with a bird theme, and I think these would make a lovely addition to the room. Please make more and sell them in your etsy store!! I love seeing your sketches "come to life"!
