Transmutation

I'm really interested in materials that are composed of one thing, but when manipulated, read or look like something else.
On that note, I've been working on a series of paper pillows for an exhibition at Women's Studio Workshop in July and August.
Here are some images of the pillows drying and shrinking in the sun.

Friend and paper artist, Lynette, taking a nap.

    These are really interesting! Are they paper pulp cast into a solid 3-D form, or sheets of paper that are hollow inside like a balloon?

    I also really like the paper brooch that you posted last!

    Thanks Ash!
    The forms are hollow.
    BTW, I love your newly painted desk, and I'd vote for the green fabric for the chair.
