Miniature moose model hand made from papier-mache and acrylic paint. Coat colour made from recycled book pages with eyes and nose painted in acrylic paint. Can stand alone as a Christmas decoration or as part of a seasonal winter scene.
My little animal models are inspired by the stories I tell myself when I walk in the forest near my home and my childhood toys. I created these unusual, quirky sculptures because I wanted to decorate my bedroom with little woodland creatures, crooked wooden houses and miniature Canadian log cabins. I build these from recycled vintage book pages - I do not use any wire structure underneath, each sculpture is built entirely from the paper. I paint each animal carefully by hand. Each sculpture is unique in shape, appearance and character.
My animals are completely solid once all the layers of glue top and paint are dry - they are light, not heavy to hold. They are robust and do not break if dropped.
I use artists' quality acrylic paint on my models so they are colour fade resistant and water resistant, but please protect them from moisture and extremes of heat temperature. They are not weatherproof and are intended for indoor use only. If they collect a little dust, a dry paintbrush can be used to clean them.
My artwork animals are not toys and are therefore not intended for children
