“My encounter with paper Mache started when I was in need of a way to express myself in 2011. I was looking for inexpensive material to play with and something that the kids can enjoy making as well. I knew it would be easy to recycle paper and other materials to make something beautiful from nothing.
“I started making bowls, vases, frames for mirrors, frames for mobiles and trying different techniques. Paper pulp and paper strips they all are so much fun and a great therapy for a stay at home mom. Basically, I taught myself through experimenting and enjoying. There is something special about paper pulp and glue that is fun and makes me passionate about it. I make a fusion between paper, glass, plastics, stones and wood.”
