How unique and beautiful.

Just the best design here on the entire piece. can you tell us more about the process to achieve this with '' paper Clay ''

I found some design softwear that I wanted real bad that contained a lot designs very simalar to the one above this fireplace.

Your work here has got to be one of my favorites seen on Greenleaf forum!

Thanks so much for the complement Debora,

This was the first thing I tried with paperclay, so I'm no expert.

The marble section of the fireplace was made using a wood frame. I rolled out thin sheets of paperclay and glued them to the wood with a thin layer of wood glue. After it dries you can carve it or add more paperclay. Then I sanded them and painted it to look like marble. I coated it with a shiny clear coat (test first some turn yellow). The brick and slate were also paperclay.

Ok I have done some research on paper clay what a great medium. Is your piece here made of paperclay over something else like cardboard

ok I see you have already told us what you used with the paper clay. Thank you.

Have you ever been to Frog Morton Studios? if not you will love it. lots of use of paper clay in his miniature castles and interiors.

Wow, Debora, Rik Pierce's work is incredible.

Thanks for the tip!
