Hi there
Two months and hundreds of paper feathers later and I finally have Raven paper sculpture to share.
[FONT=”Impact]Zoltan[/FONT]
Specifications: 15″ x 19″ paper sculpture
Reference photo credit: Terence Porter, used with permissionFrom the get-go, I had the intention of doing this sculpture in a graphic approach. I was going to make the feathers using a blue print scrapbooking paper but was fortunate to find this metallic paper with a somewhat mottled surface. It reflects light unevenly but that’s part of its beauty. The rose border is cut from a sheet of silver poster board and mounted over purple paper.
“Zoltan” is a nod to Stephen King’s first volume of his Dark Tower series, ‘The Gunslinger.’
Thank you for letting me share

Wow, this is beautiful and mysterious…a real treat for the eyes. I love the effect of the metallic sheen in the paper for the feathers. It must be so stunning in person. Fantastic work!
