This is a 3D paper sculpture of a bear that just caught a salmon. I like the challenge of bringing paper to life and creating a bit of a whimsical look at life. This bear is bringing home a salmon so he can have it later for a little midnight snack.
I started working on this project after reading about the baby sea turtles and the adventures they must go through just to survive. Researching sea turtles really sparked my interest and inspired me to create an entire series of paper sculptures with an under the sea theme.
A paper sculpture of an under the sea theme scenery. The ocean view includes a blue crab and tropical fish swimming in a coral reef setting displayed inside a glass cloche.
Sea anemones are unusual creatures and a joy to watch. They look so peaceful and graceful as they move their tentacles over their bodies. Recreating the gently moving tentacles out of paper was a challenge and it took some experimentation to discover which type of paper to use.
