These Amazing stunningly Pictures detailed ideas how to make paper sculptures may only be made from paper – but they are being techniques snapped up by art fans for tens of thousands of pounds.The unique Eckman Method® of fine art cast paper sculpture calls for husband and wife team Allen and Patty Eckman place the paper pulp in clay moulds before pressurising it to remove the water.The hard, lightweight pieces are then removed and the couple painstakingly add detailed finishings with a wide range of tools. The intricate creations can take up to 11 months to complete.They have been making the creations since 1987 at their home studio, in South Dakota, America, and have racked up over three million pounds selling them.The pieces depict traditional scenes from Native American history of Cherokees hunting and dancing. Their most expensive creation so far is called Prairie Edge Powwow which sold for £47,000.
