Miniature bowls. I made these over the course of several weeks. Materials; Paper-various (I tried to use scraps from larger projects) Elmer's glue Acrylic gesso and paint polyurethane That's right, they're paper, but between the glue, gesso, and the polyurethane they end up being pretty sturdy. If I rememeber right, this batch lead me to try and do other types of pottery, most of which ended up in the basement of my Steampunk house. Some of these are part of my collection, and others sold at a local show. I know the rest are packed up somewhere, but I haven't gone through that bin in a while, so I'm not sure how many are left. (or which ones).© Kyle Lefort 2013

They are made of up-cycled paper, that has been rolled into tight coils, and then formed into their own unique shapes/sizes, held together with plenty of glue. After drying, they were painted with gesso, sanded, and then carefully painted with red acrylic paint..They have been sealed with Polyurethane, which in certain lighting gives the bowls more of a red-orange color, as well as a glossy, glazed pottery type finish. Theses are available in my Etsy shop; https://www.etsy.com/shop/KyleLefort© Kyle Lefort 2013

6 miniature faux-finish "tarnished metal" bowls I made many of these in different shapes/sizes. This is the set available in my Etsy shop; https://www.etsy.com/shop/kylelefort I made this set to look like an awesome garage sale find. Beat up [faux]metal bowls, cracks and imperfections included, shined up as vintage styled home decor...in miniature. Real materials/process; They are made of up-cycled paper, that has been rolled into tight coils, and then formed into various shapes, held together with plenty of glue. After drying, they are painted with gesso, sanded, and then carefully painted with metallic/other acrylic paint, in a style that creates a faux- tarnished metal effect.They have been sealed with clear polycrylic for stability and additional shine. They resemble pottery, but if you accidentally drop one, no worries, paper doesn't crack or shatter.© Kyle Lefort 2013

Miniature flower arrangements. I must have spent a lot of time making bowls and flowers last year. XD Bowls; Paper-various Elmer's glue Acrylic gesso and paint polyurethane Flowers; Paper-various Acrylic paint Elmer's glue seed beads bead wire craft foam That's right, they're paper, but between the glue, gesso, and the polyurethane they end up being pretty sturdy. Some of these are part of my collection, and the rest are packed up somewhere, but I haven't gone through that bin in a while, so I'm not sure how many are left. (or which ones).© Kyle Lefort 2013
