Yes, it’s paper mache. Wow. The work is by artist Hazel Bryce, who lives in Reading, UK.
Paper Mache Seahorse by Hazel Bryce
Hazel recently completed a new video showing her paper mache seahorse, which you can see below. She also has a number of close-up photos on her website, and photos of her other work. According to Hazel, the seahorse has been shown at the Royal Academy of Arts London and is currently on exhibition at a Paper museum in the Czech Republic. However, this beautiful piece needs a new home by May 2012. If you have any ideas about where the piece should be exhibited next, Hazel would love to hear from you.
And now, to the video:

Save Sanding Time and Effort
I do not have a bread dough hook attachment so my paper clay was a bit more lumpy than I would have liked. Reading something about plastic wrap on this web site, I used a plastic “sandwich bag” as a mitt . I gentle gave the wet surface a pushing and circular massage, and the surface became a great deal smoother.
I do like the idea of less sanding
Great idea! Thanks.
Amazing and beautiful!
Hazel, you have a gift of artistry that is rarely seen. You are a genius and do not let anybody dictate how to represent who you are as an artist. I know you can make pieces that can and will rival the seahorse. This seahorse is a gem and I am sure that it will find a very good home. Your expression is all your own. You have a big fan in me.
Hazel…I must say when I saw your Seahorse I thought how beautiful! You have such patience and it shows.
