Fabulous Art from Paper

These stunningly detailed sculptures may only be made from paper, but they are being snapped up by art fans for tens of thousands of pounds.(dollars).

The intricate creations depict Native American scenes and took

up to 11 months to make using a specially formulated paper.

Husband and wife team, Allen and Patty Eckman, put paper pulp

into clay moulds and pressurize it to remove the water.

They have been making the creations since 1987 at their home studio,

in South Dakota, America, and have racked up a whopping

$3 million selling the incredible works of art.

The pieces depict traditional scenes from Native

American history of Cherokees hunting and dancing.

Allen explained their technique: "It should not be confused with

papier mache. The two mediums are completely different.

I call what we do 'cast paper sculpture'"

"Some of them we create are life-size and

some we scale down to 1/6 life-size".
