Flower Wall Adornment Handmade Recycled Paper Sculpture, "Inspiring Frangipani"
Symbol of natural beauty as well as new beginnings, a blossoming frangipani becomes an inspired wall sculpture. Thailand's Somyot Sawasdee crafts the magnificent sculpture by hand with recycled paper and cement, expertly detailing the petals. He finishes the wall sculpture with green and gold paint, creating the illusion of an aged bronze piece. The sculpture features a hook on the back.

"Exactly what I was looking for"
This is a lovely, well-made piece of art. I was looking for a relatively small wall hanging in a cat motif for a specific location in my entry hall. If I didnt know better, Id think this artist was reading my mind.
