  • Revisiting My Paperclay Angels

    I am revisiting my paperclay angels with a twist; I used the silicone mold of The Meditation, Three Angels to create new individual figures. But this time I built up each figure individually and I have already modified the center figure considerably. I was never satisfied with the center “mediator” angel, so I needed to…
