MORE ABOUT THE ARTIST

Paper Mache Sculpture, original art,

Please reach me at madebycarly@gmail.com if you do not your answer below or on the FAQ page.

We accept all major credit cards, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle and Apple Pay and cash.


This is a piece of art, so you do not have to place anything inside. You can rest it on your designer coffee table and admire it.


I use any number of newspapers plus old posters and Whole Earth Access catalogs from the 1970's. I add flour, water and salt to this mixture and sometimes I use an armature of plastic, wire or cardboard. I embellish with water based acrylic paint.


Please email madebycarly@gmail.com with your request. Title your email "Request for Commissioned Work" and include photos of inspiration, a colors palette, size restrictions and any limiting timelines and I will respond to you as soon as I am able.
