So, in the meantime here is something that I find really inspiring.
The work of Peter Gentenaar is so beautiful it leaves me speechless. These gorgeous paper sculptures are created by allowing paper pulp to dry on a bamboo frame (this description makes it sound ridiculously simple, which I am sure it is not!).

Peter Gentenaar: Open Flower, Yellow
This is my absolute favorite. it's called Hourglass Figure
Peter Gentenaar: Chutes and Ladders
Peter Gentenaar: Geisha
Recently 100 of his paper sculptures were hung in Abbey church of Saint-Riquier in France.
These photos came from here, where you can see more images of the installation.
Peter Gentenaar's wife, Pat Gentenaar-Torley also works with paper pulp. She creates 2 dimensional artworks by intricately layering paper pulp over a vacuum table of Peter's design. I particularly like her still life works.
