Default My 1st paperclay figure: Rainbow Courage Bear
Old 06-25-2008, 09:27 AM   #1 (permalink)

Hello Everyone!!

This is my first time fooling around with paperclay. Never made anything with clay before. Made this for my best friend for her Birthday. It took me weeks before I got an inspiration on how to paint it.

My friend was depressed over all the uncertainty of her future.. worried if she could get a job, worried if she could get into University, worried about everything in life. I made this bear for her hoping that she would see that life is full of possibilities and 'colours'.

I have never worked with clay. I guess you got the hang of it quite quickly.
Wonderful! I especially like the colors.
