How much do paintings using paper art cost? “Pape art” - a new idea for handicrafts by Tatyana Sorokina

The fantasy of needlewomen is a separate universe. But not all ideas are lucky enough to gain worldwide fame. But “paper plastic” succeeded! So the patterns, drawings of flagella in paper technique-art is something that is worth getting to know better in order to start making amazingly beautiful and original decorative items right now.

Miracles made of paper

Decorating things with paper napkins is not news for those who know a lot about crafts. But designer from Nikolaev Tatyana Sorokina became bored with decoupage and quilling, and in 2006 she came up with her own way of creating crafts, called “ paper art" In English it sounds like “pipe art”.

The technique imitates different textures and textures using one material - paper, more precisely, three-layer or two-layer paper napkins rolled into thin threads. You can use such flagella to lay out entire paintings or decorate chests, caskets, bottles, women's trinkets, jars for bulk products, etc. Paper art is accessible to everyone, and our master class for beginners will help you master some of the intricacies of making crafts in this elegant manner .

What do you need?

"Paper Art" is created on the basis waste material and does not require any specific tools. So, let's prepare:

• paper napkins;
• toothpicks for correcting the position of the thread on the product;

• object that we will decorate.

How to prepare flagella?

The material for crafts is thin paper strings. You can prepare them in several ways.

Traditional option

Materials:

Instructions:

1. Cut strips of napkins 1-1.5 cm wide.
2. Drop one at a time into the water.
3. Twist with your palms into thin threads.
4. Let it dry a little - you can use it.

If the flagella are dry before use, you can lightly wet them with water. If elements of a different shape are needed, for example, balls, then they are twisted from ready-made threads.

"Tricky" way

A person always strives to make the process of doing his work easier, and handicrafts are no exception. What to do if the craft is large and you need a lot of thread? There is an exit!

Materials:

"In the golden land of memories,

On the colored roads of dreams,

It’s not me you’re waiting for, my Pirosmani,

A genius gone crazy with love...

...Niko, Niko, Niko, if only you knew

How sometimes it brings me to tears, I feel so sorry for it,

That it was not my portrait that you drew,

And the portrait of a visiting Parisian woman..."

Isn’t this the thought you, my readers, indulged in while waiting for the release of the second part of the master class on decorating the decanter “Pirosmani’s Muse”?

Let me remind you that in the first part of the master class “Bottle decor using decoupage and paper art techniques. Decoupage with printout" are described in detail:

• the process of preparing a glass decanter for paper art and decoupage;
• technique for working with printouts for decoupage made on an inkjet printer.

There is also a list of tools and materials needed for decoupage and paper art of bottles.

So, the promised continuation of the master class

Bottle decor using decoupage and paper art techniques “Muse of Pirosmani”

If you remember, two of the four faces glass bottle I have already decorated it with decoupage using computer printouts of reproductions of paintings by the Georgian primitivist artist Niko Pirosmani.

Decor using the paper art technique always harmoniously combines with decoupage elements, and I decided to decorate the pasted decoupage motifs with a pattern of napkin flagella and ceraplast.

Vine. Paper art patterns from napkin flagella

Ripe bunches of grapes are an element present in almost all of Niko Pirosmani’s paintings. So, I think it’s quite logical to complement the decoupage bottle with an image of a grapevine.

To make the trunk of a grape bush, I cut a wide (about 4 cm) strip of napkin, peel it and moisten it with water. I roll the central part of the strip into a bundle, leaving the ends of the strip about 3-4 cm long free.

The napkin rope for the grape trunk should not be rolled up too tightly. Creases on its surface are also welcome - this way the napkin rope will look more like a tree trunk.

I roll another flagellum from a napkin. This time - thin, made in traditional technique paper art from a strip of napkin 1 cm wide (you can learn in detail about the technique of making napkin flagella for paper art by watching the master class “Pape art. Coffee can”).

Holding both flagella - thick and thin - by the tips, I twist them so that thin tourniquet the thicker tourniquet was loosely wrapped around it.

I coat the prepared surface of the bottle with PVA glue.

I glue the barrel from napkin flagella, generously lubricating it with PVA and pressing it tightly with a brush to the surface of the bottle. Bottom part I don’t glue a thick rope!

I tear the free, untwisted lower edge of the thick napkin cord with my fingers in several places.

I twist the resulting strips of napkin into thin flagella. And again, creases and all sorts of irregularities on the surface of the resulting “tails” are welcome.

I glue the twisted “tails” of the paper art strand to the surface of the bottle with PVA glue. According to my idea, they should imitate the roots of a grape bush.

I do the same with the upper part of the thick rope representing the trunk. This time the “tails” are intended to represent grape branches.

I roll up another thin flagellum for paper art from a strip of napkin 1 cm wide. I tear off small pieces of the thin flagellum and glue them in several places, where leaves and ripe bunches of grapes will later appear.

From the remnants of a thin flagellum I lay out twisted grape tendrils on the surface of the bottle greased with glue.

When all the work of laying out paper art patterns from napkin flagella is done, I let the bottle dry. And then I cover the glued flagella with a layer of PVA.

Grape bunches and leaves. Modeling from ceraplast (self-hardening clay)

I decided to sculpt the grape leaves and bunches of grapes from ceraplast - this is the material Tatyana Sorokina most often uses for paper art.

With grape bunches everything is more or less simple. I roll small balls from ceraplast, not quite correct form and not exactly the same size (remember - in nature there are no perfectly even shapes). I glue each ball with PVA to the surface of the bottle.

The situation is somewhat more complicated with grape leaves. In order to sculpt leaves from clay that at least somewhat resemble real ones, my son advised me to resort to a little trick - to make an impression of a real living leaf on a piece of ceraplast.

So, on a modeling board I roll out a small piece of ceraplast with a rolling pin.

I put a living leaf on top.

Of course, I could be lying if I said that at the end of autumn I managed to find a real grape leaf. But I honestly admit that the role of a grape leaf was played by a leaf from a hop bush. In general, any five-fingered leaf that you can find will be suitable for sculpting.

To get an impression of a living leaf on the surface of the ceraplast, I lightly press it into the surface of the clay with a rolling pin.

After this, all that remains is to remove the excess ceraplast, giving a piece of clay the shape of a grape leaf. I do this with the help of available tools, namely manicure accessories, although if available, it is better to use special sculpting stacks for this purpose.

I carefully remove the clay leaf from the modeling board. I coat the surface of the bottle with PVA glue and glue the leaf.

I give the clay leaf relief by pressing depressions in the ceraplast and making small notches along the edges of the leaf.

I remove ceraplast crumbs from the surface of the bottle using a dry brush with soft synthetic bristles.

Now the keraplast should harden. To do this, I place the bottle in a closed cabinet so that the clay does not crack during the drying process. Since the ceraplast elements with which I decorated the decanter are not too large and voluminous, I dry the bottle for 6 hours.

During this time, you can not only have time to prepare homemade mayonnaise, but also prepare the bottle cap for decoration using the paper art technique.

While preparing the surface of the bottle for decoupage and paper art, I still had threads pulled out from linen fabric, which I used as a basis for gluing decoupage motifs.

I cover the bottle cap with a thick layer of PVA.

Without letting the glue dry, I lay out the threads on the surface of the bottle in the form of curls of any shape.

Prime the prepared bottle and cork with black acrylic paint. Traditionally, a mixture of gouache and acrylic varnish is used for this purpose, as was shown in the master class with step-by-step photos “Pape art bottles”. However, this time my bottle is small, and I decided not to skimp on acrylic paint.

Using a sponge from a piece of foam rubber, I apply several layers of paint, working with special care on the areas with glued napkin flagella and ceraplast modeling.

Using a semi-dry sponge, I “smudge” the edges of the pasted decoupage motifs in order to hide the transition from the picture to the surface of the bottle and at the same time give the reproductions the appearance of paintings that have aged with time.

I let the paint dry.

Typically, the surface of products using the paper art technique is tinted with silver, bronze, copper or gold acrylic paint over the entire area (such as a box-box using the paper art technique and decoupage).

But this time I want to make a bottle that is extremely ascetic and contrasting, in the style of Niko Pirosmani’s paintings. Therefore, I only tint with bronze acrylic paint convex patterns paper art.

I apply bronze acrylic paint with a semi-dry thin brush.

I also tint the bottle cap with bronze acrylic paint. However, this time I’m doing it using the traditional paper art technology - with a semi-dry sponge, having first made several impressions of paint on a piece of paper, I go over the entire surface of the cork.

I cover the finished work with three layers of matte acrylic varnish with intermediate drying.

And at the end of the work I apply a glossy paint with a thin brush. acrylic lacquer on the protruding elements of the pattern using the paper art technique to make them even more voluminous.

This is what my vine looks like:

May the winegrowers-experts forgive me for the poor similarity of the vegetation I sculpted with a living grapevine. But the characters in Pirosmani’s paintings are also far from realistic.

So it doesn’t matter at all whether we can draw well or not. Even a primitive artist can open his heart to people. The main thing is that love lives in this heart.

Paper Art is an amazing technique for decorating various objects using ordinary paper napkins. As a result, the surface accurately imitates carving or embossing. This type of needlework was invented by Tatyana Sorokina, who tried a lot of techniques and decided to create something of her own. Initially, she called this work “Napkin plastic”, and then everyone received the technique famous name Paper Art. In this article we offer you a master class and photos of finished works using the Paper Art technique. Get inspired and create real masterpieces from napkins.

Paper art master class. Paintings

Paper Art should not be confused with decoupage, because it is not just covering the surface with napkins, but decorating with paper threads. In order to make such a thread, you need to cut a two- or three-layer napkin into strips different lengths and about 1-2 cm wide. After this, hold the strip by one end, lower it into the water and quickly pull it out.

The strip needs to be scrolled in your palms so that you get a thread. Prepare many such threads at once, you can different colors, and then use them to decorate bottles, gift packaging, wall plates or panels.

Lay out the pattern with damp napkin threads, and use PVA for gluing. If the threads are dry, wet them slightly with water.

The napkins should stick well, so cover the fiberboard with PVA glue. It’s better to start with the outline of the design; for convenience, use knitting needles. Wet napkin threads are very elastic, so you can lay out any shape. Then start filling in your picture. Choose flagella suitable color, lubricate with glue and compact tightly close to the contour. Cut off the excess length of the thread, but do not throw it away, everything will be useful during work.

Make stamens from the remaining threads and glue them on top ready flower. When your painting is dry, coat it with varnish.

Idea for decorating a cognac bottle

In order to master the Paper Art technique, it is not necessary to have the skills of a designer or artist. Just make threads from napkins and get creative. Finished works and a master class will help you imagine what crafts decorated using this unique technique might look like.

A person unfamiliar with needlework may be surprised, but new areas of creativity are invented every year in the world. One of these recent innovations is a technique for decorating objects called “paper art.” With its help, you can turn completely ordinary things into real objects of art.

What is paper art

The literal translation of this concept means “paper art.” This type of handicraft was invented relatively recently. Just ten years ago he did not exist, but now his fans live all over the world.

The author of this technique for decorating objects was Tatyana Sorokina, a designer living in Nikolaev. She got bored with quilling and decoupage and came up with new way paper use.

With the help of pei desks, you can imitate a variety of textures and create objects of art that imitate more complex and expensive techniques - wood carving, embossing, metal-plastic or embroidery. The result is items that combine the artistic embodiment of the master’s plan and the practical use of the item being decorated. Paper art is easy to perform and can be done by almost anyone, including children.

Where to start learning paper art

First, you need to understand what this type of needlework is and what is its main difference from other popular techniques. In paper art, the main material is elastic paper threads, with the help of which a three-dimensional image is created on the surface of the decorated object. Further, using other available means and art materials the final image of the object is created.

People familiar with such types of creativity as quilling, or, will be sure that they are all somewhat similar. In fact, this is absolutely true - in all these types of creativity, paper is used as the main working tool. The difference between them is in technique and techniques. The result is a completely different result.

For example, for quilling thin paper strips, painted on both sides. She may be different densities. Strips of paper are rolled onto special devices and create three-dimensional forms, from which they then lay out a pattern.

Paper art does not impose restrictions on forms; there are no basic elements to create an image. In addition, paper art requires paper of lower density, namely two- or three-layer paper napkins.

IN old style Handicrafts called “” use pre-cut images from napkins, which are transferred to the surface to be decorated and used to imitate hand painting.

In paper art, the main emphasis is on creating texture and volume. What these artistic movements have in common is the creative material - thin paper napkins, and also the fact that both decoupage and paper art imitate other types of creativity.

What you need for paper art

To create works using the paper art technique, you first need to stock up on paper napkins. These can be either special multi-layer napkins for decoupage or completely ordinary ones. kitchen napkins white or colored.

In addition you will need:

• Water.
• Glue, PVA is best.
• Aerosol paint.
• Clear nail polish.

Main preparatory work is to make paper threads from napkins. To do this, they are cut into strips, moistened in water and twisted into flagella by hand. They can be of different thicknesses and structures. It is not necessary to achieve a perfectly even thickness; any source material will be useful in this matter. You also need to prepare the surface to be decorated. It is first thoroughly cleaned and then pasted over with PVA glue with pieces of the same paper napkins.

After this, various images are laid out from the prepared flagella on the object to be decorated, securing them with the same PVA glue. Can be pre-applied with a simple pencil outline of the image. Then the surface is painted over and the result is secured with transparent varnish.

To create an image, not only paper strips can be used, but also other objects - shells, polymer clay, buttons, beads. Flagella can be twisted not only from napkins, but also from paper towels or cosmetic wipes.

Try it and perhaps you too will become a fan of this wonderful type of needlework.
This is interesting: The name of this type of creativity literally translates as “paper art.” "Pape art" - new idea handicrafts by Tatyana Sorokina. Tatyana Sorokina is a poet, artist, designer, head of the creative studio “Akvarel”. She has several collections of poems “Liberia”, “Defensive Reaction”, “Poetic Watercolor”, “Artelen” and a personal book “Tunnel of Transition”, which is decorated with her color illustrations. She tried a lot of needlework techniques, but she wanted something new, her own. And she came up with “Pape Art” (2006). Initially, she called her technique “Napkin plastic” and it was under this name that the works of her students won 1st place and the “Grand Prix” at International festival children's creativity. An interesting new idea for needlework caught the fancy of many craftswomen and instantly spread throughout the world. What is “Pape art”? This is a technique for decorating with paper napkins. Paper art should not be confused with decoupage, because it is not just covering the surface with napkins, but decorating with paper threads. Tatyana Sorokina came up with the idea of ​​edging the drawings with thread from napkins. This technique imitates more expensive image techniques, such as carving, embossing, weaving.
Progress:
I paste over the surface of the prepared bottle (I washed it, removed all the labels) with pieces of napkins so that the surface becomes textured (in my opinion, the bottle will look more impressive). Using a brush moistened with PVA glue, I smooth out a piece of napkin until it fits tightly to the surface of the bottle and is completely saturated with glue.

So, placing pieces of napkins on the surface, slightly matching their ends, I glue the entire bottle, not forgetting about the bottom.

After completely dry bottles, I draw a sketch of the pattern with a pencil. In my case, this is a decorative grape vine. You can peek interesting elements on the Internet or come up with simple patterns yourself.

To make paper thread, take two- or three-layer paper napkins, cut them into strips of different lengths and a width of about 3.5 cm (you can make a smaller thickness if the bottle small size).

I carefully separate the layers so that the strips are single-layered.

I place the finished strip on a wet towel and gently, pressing lightly with my hand, saturate it with water.

Scrolling with fingers different sides From one end to the other I form a thread-flagellum. If the flagellum breaks during torsion, it means the paper has absorbed a lot of moisture. Torn flagella from paper napkin don’t rush to throw them away, they can also be used when decorating the bottle.

The finished flagella should be completely dry.

Then I take the finished flagellum from a paper napkin and apply PVA glue (only to that part of the side that will be attached to the surface of the bottle), gradually gluing it along the length (until the glue sets) and form a pattern.

Flagella can be joined if there is not enough length.

You can safely go beyond the drawn sketch, taking into account the thickness and length of the harness, or if you see that it will look better this way. This technique welcomes creativity and imagination.

I made the grapes by winding the flagellum into a tight spiral, in the form of a snail shell. I fixed the tip with a drop of glue.

Then I applied glue to the surface of the bottle in the form of a circle equal to the diameter of the finished grape and pressed it.

After completely laying out the patterns with strands of paper, you can coat the entire surface of the bottle with PVA glue to be more sure that small and difficult places adhesion of paper bundles.

When the bottle is dry, we begin painting it. To do this, first take black acrylic paint and completely paint over the entire bottle, trying to use the tip of the brush to cover all the small and deep places of the decorative elements so that there are no gaps. We are waiting for it to dry completely.

Then we work with bronze-colored acrylic paint (you can use gold, silver, and copper), apply a small amount of onto the tip of the sponge and rub the paint into decorative elements, trying to completely highlight them from the dark background, and lightly blot the background with a sponge in several places. Waiting for it to dry again.
