Dancing Stars Mobile

It's been a long time coming but I finally got the video of my newest product done! There's really not a whole lot to say about it, so I invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy the show. And if the virtual version isn't fully satisfying, you can pick up the real thing in my Etsy shop.

Spiral Dance Wall Hanging

A while back I made a bunch of wall hangings in much the same way as I made the leaf sculpture, Tango. I don't know why but I quit making them. As I've listed the few stray pieces I have left on Etsy I've found an appreciative audience. So who knows, I just may revive the technique for another round and see what comes up.


I just listed this piece in my shop. What do you think? Would you like to see more? Does this spark any ideas for you?

More Making Paper Leaves

Tango close up

I LOVE paper! There are so many things you can do with it. It's a medium with no bounds. You can make something so tiny and fragile that it will dissolve in a raindrop. Or you can make something that is substantial enough to sit upon or even perhaps to live in... so long as you don't run with scissors! *wink*

Tango a leaf sculpture by Jan Moulder

I delight in making unusual things out of paper. Here is another type of paper leaf I made from my Peas in a Pod series. It was created by putting together a twig frame and then wrapping wet paper around the twigs. After it dried I painted it with acrylic paints and then dry brushed with gold. The richness and depth of the texture, which is hard to see in these pictures, makes my mouth water! The 'peas' are made using another method which I will reveal in a later post.
