Northern California is home to Sylvia Anderson, where she creates whimsical paper mache characters born from her imagination, and inspired by old children’s stories, vintage postcards, and Holiday imagery. Sylvia has worked in several mediums over the years, but found her niche when she tried her hand at sculpting. She found that the characters come to life in the 3-dimensional form, and the possibilities are endless.

Collectors are drawn to Sylvia’s unique style, and the attention to detail that she puts into each piece. All of the work that you see here on the site has been completely hand made and hand sculpted without the use of molds. Sylvia spends several hours on each piece, to achieve the fine details that make each one unique and special.

In addition to the paper mache characters that Sylvia creates, she dabbles in a variety of other artistic mediums including mixed media collage, soldered jewelry, and assemblages made from antique and vintage items.

She has designed projects which have been featured in Country Marketplace magazine, and GiftMaker magazine, and has a line of licensed reproductions which are available in fine gift shops nationwide.

Her wish is that her creations will touch people’s hearts, and bring a smile to their faces.
