Small Daruma Doll with Stripes - Paper Clay Art

Crafted from recycled milk cartons and paper, this simple yet charming paper clay doll captures the essence of a small Daruma. May it bring you abundant good fortune. The process begins with repurposing recycled paper into a clay-like consistency, which is then kneaded and dried. We then apply Japanese Washi paper and pulp derived from the core of milk cartons. This technique leverages the inherent strength of paper as it dries, resulting in a finish that can resemble stone or ceramic. Unlike hollow papier-mâché, these paper clay dolls are solid and robustly constructed. We embrace the natural, unadulterated white hue and texture of the paper, enhancing them with patterns created using sumi ink and a branding iron. Each piece is meticulously hand-kneaded, making every doll unique; no two will ever be exactly alike. Please understand that variations are inherent to the handmade process. Please note, these are not designed to be roly-poly toys. ● Size: 3cm (height) x 3cm (width) x 3cm (depth) ● Materials: Recycled paper, Washi paper, Sumi ink, Acrylic paint 〇 Your purchase will be sent in a handmade box. 〇 Complimentary gift wrapping is available, which includes a ribbon tied around the box. 〇 We use recycled materials for shipping packaging. 〇 As these are paper creations, please avoid applying excessive force or exposing them to moisture.
