There are few activities more gratifying than those involved with creating something unique and beautiful with your own hands. Whether the resulting piece is a painting, ceramic vase, quilt, necklace, flower arrangement, or anything else of beauty and enjoyment, the sense of pride and accomplishment is a wonderful feeling that is rarely equaled. Enjoying a creative outlet is good for the mind, spirit, and body to help combat the ravages of daily stress to enhance the quality of life. The best part is that there are fun and inexpensive creative crafts that anyone can enjoy doing, even without a bit of artistic training.
One such craft is a whole new approach to sculpting that was created in the early 1990s by Dutch artists who were looking for a non-toxic, environmentally friendly alternative to resin. What they created is now the leading fabric hardener and fiber sculpting medium in the world called paverpol. With this water based cream, you can create wire art sculptures with truly unique personalities, figurines, dolls, garden statues, jewelry, and so much more. You can create sculptures and decorative pieces for indoors and outdoors that are limited only by your imagination.
No special tools, equipment, or experience is needed, making paverpol art an inexpensive and simple craft for anyone to try. The paverpol cream can be used to make most any material rock-hard and even waterproof including fabrics, silk, paper, leather, and self-hardening clay. It adheres to any material besides plastic so sculptures can include wood, plaster, stone, pottery, and many other materials and does not deteriorate polystyrene foam. It adds a world of new possibilities for doll makers, interior and exterior designers, and mixed media artists both professional and amateur.
Transparent paverpol lets the beauty of the fabric or other material shine through for elegant or playful figurines of any size or shape. It is also available in black, grey, bronze, and terra cotta with high quality dry pigments and special effect powders available for further customization. Use it to recycle most any material from old clothes to broken pottery to soda cans to create fun and unique recycled art. Being non-toxic and easy to clean up with simple soap and water, it is great for projects for kids as well as adults.
If you are looking for a fun new craft or want to expand the possibilities of an existing craft pursuit, you owe it to yourself to explore this wonderful new medium.
