A bit of a change today. Whilst at Epsom a few weeks ago, amongst other things I demonstrated paper sculpture. The above piece is a clinker built dingy, in the classical plank on frame style,  as in the real thing. The larger of the two books has about twenty pages, whilst the smaller of the books has about ten pages, both open properly; the satchel sadly doesn't show up to well, but has a convincing leather look. The boat is about six inches in length and made totally from scrap pieces of paper and pva glue, before being finished with acrylic paint. I enjoyed making it during the odd spare moments throughout the week; several of the conference attenders also followed its progress during the weeks as well.
The idea was given me by a client who suggested that I made a boat for a thinker, hence the books. When I have some spare time a bit of beach or something like that needs making for it, before it all gets framed.
