These paper and polymer vessels from Madrid’s Fabi may bring a smile to your Monday. The quirky finishing touches are polymer shapes with a Dr. Seuss feel.
The pots themselves are made from “serpentinas”, paper strips wound into a tight coil and pushed into shape. Even if your Spanish isn’t strong, you’ll catch how they’re made on this YouTube video. (Paper streamers may be common in some places or quilling strips would work.)
Once Fabi got started she couldn’t resist adding polymer finials and making ornaments and earrings and other trinkets.
Fabi’s interests are wide-ranging as we’ve seen in earlier posts. Look at her Flickr page and her blog to see what she’s been up to.

I love Fabi’s artwork. Her passion for creating is inspiring. On a side note….hey Cynthia…don’t forget to add “author” to your PCD profile. Got my copy of “Creative Sparks” for Mother’s Day. I love it!

Those are just adorable! They do indeed bring a smile to my Monday. They also bring back memories of summer camp years ago when I was just 11 and made a little hat with a paper coil (plain brown craft), painted it, and coated it with mod podge. I still have it. 🙂
