Capture
your child in a watercolour or papier mache tableau for yourselves, a
grandparent or parent and this will become a family heirloom. A portrait of a
child as a youngster is just about the most unique gift you can give. The 3d
effect of a tableau makes the present even more enchanting and special.
Clothing
can be copied and the details can be replicated to any moment you remember or
any place you want fantasy or real.
Often
older people cannot see particularly well so these sculptures would appeal as
the image is so much clearer.
Over the years I have found myself creating papier mache
items for my own children and my friends. These pieces of papier mache have enhanced my
children's' bedrooms & several of our friends' playrooms and are very
artistic and tasteful compared to the expensive plastic toys most children own.
Victorian Style Silhouette
A beautiful alternative to a papier mache
sculpture for a child portrait is a Victorian style silhouette.
Normally I will give you a sheet of
instructions for the requirements of the
photos to be supplied. If photos
are provided, prices start at £35.00 for
one silhouette in mount and a pair of
different adults or children in a mount
start at £62.00 for a double set.
Photography is available if required but
clients will need to go to Ham in Surrey
to be photographed.
There
will be a small extra charge for
photography.

Toys
Papier mache is a strong medium and can withstand a reasonable amount
of play. I created a whole Sylvanian world for my
daughter who treasures
her pretty items and finds them far more colourful and interesting than the
usual. I recently made a castle
and a "Warhammer" landscape as commissions.

Decorate your child's room

wall.
