Paper Clay Experimentations

For my paper clay experimentations I created a series of small sculptural forms, which I then connected by thread to make a necklace of consecutive relation.  I was challenged by the texture of the medium when it came to decorating the pieces with acrylic paint.  At the same time this texture adds a certain structure to the form which ought to be preserved.  The drying process was also lengthy because I had enclosed the pieces inside a Tupperware container- the lack of fresh air inhibited the drying process.  In summary paper clay is a time-consuming, but enjoyable medium to be used in a hands-on approach.
