Incredible Paper Sculptures

[Bayard]

Calvin Nicholls, a man who transforms simple sheets of paper into something extraordinary. Using archival paper, scalpels, and embossing tools, and drawing inspiration from wildlife, the Canadian artist sculpts detailed, lifelike 3D pieces that look as if they could move.

12. Those are great! He's very talented. I wonder how he protects them to hold their shape. Especially the "ruffled" ones.
