Apart from posters and prints, you don’t often find art for kids.  So when I discovered these animal shaped paper sculptures, I was quite delighted.  They are bold and bright and come mainly in the form of various different animals but there are also words/kids names ones for hanging on a wall.  Polka Dot Sundays is the creation of Jaina, an artist who worked on kids TV where she discovered the magical possibilities of newspaper. 

Jaina hand makes these colourful sculptures from her London studio and all of the sculptures start life as a scrunched up ball of newspaper.  But with Jaina’s creativity and her unique sculpting process, each piece ends up being original and delightful.  I can picture one of the beautiful birdies perched on a kids bookshelf, or even on my bookshelf.  While many of the sculptures are aimed at kids, I think they are great eye candy for any age.  Visit Polka Dot Sundays where you can see the entire collection and you’ll also find a link to Jaina’s shop.[nrelate-related]
