WYCINANKA: AND TEA BAG FOLDING CARDS

Children are taught to fold a square or round piece of paper three times and then cut out holes and shapes from the edges.  When the cutting is unfolded, all the cut holes are repeated around the circular shape.
These can be called "Snowflakes".  I included a teabag folding of a star to glue to the center of the snowflake.  Little triangular foldings were placed in the corners to add to the design.

Sculpture: "POOR SOUL"....




I poured water and Plaster of Paris into a large paper milk carton and let it harden until it felt warm.  Then I ripped off the paper carton and found that I had a tall rectangular piece of plaster.  As I began to carve the plaster with a small carving knife,  I felt the presence of my lady hiding in the block.  I set her free from the plaster!

Sculpture: "TROUBLES"...
