This little fellow (38 cm height and 40 cm wide) weights only 180 gr.
I build my dolls from rings of paper with glue. when the ring is dry i put another one on it and so on. the result is very firm but light.
The dolls are hollow which makes them easy to balance (they stand for them selves) and of course, can be transported easily, but the main reason that I love this technique is that it has a fresh and rough look in the end (very similar to their sketch in the sketch book where they were originally taken from) ,and it allows me to give the dolls a big body and tiny legs , like this girl here which is 210 gr and it is still firm and stable.

Is it obvious or should I tell you that I’m obsessed with the daily newspaper? I never throw them out until i finish taking all their colors out. since i don’t do it very quickly it usually piles up. When I do cut the color out, it makes me very happy. I love all the shades of color I can take out, the range is very wide. try it! You to will be surprised.

It all started when I was in Denmark for an exchange student program.
Being a student and in a foreign country made money take a big roll in every choice I took, so my artistic choices were influenced too.
Christmas came and we had to make a three dimensional ornaments for the tree,(did I mention that I didn’t have any money?). I looked around and all I saw in my room was a big pile of newspapers that was on my door step every week for free. Well, it was me, the newspaper and a plastic glue. and then it hit me that there are many colors in the newspaper itself, if I cut them out maybe I could do something with it. Using only the newspaper and the glue I made  my first Christmas ornament. This pig (which is actually a matchbox ) is hollow  (made from rings of paper and glue) and colored by the  pink color cuts. As you can see it was very small. Then I started to build larger shapes and found it was possible and I started to make  my paper dolls.
