ReplyDeleteAmazing how much detail and dimension Li-Chu Wu can create from paper. I am in awe!
ReplyDeleteI'm absolutely amazed! How talented she is, to be able to take something simple like paper and turn it into complicated, expensive-looking jewelry.
ReplyDeleteThis just proves that material is of secondary importance to the skills of the artist who uses it. :)
just amazing! makes me really want to see her pieces in person to see what they feel like and look like up close. i can't believe how precise the pieces are--not something you would expect with paper!
ReplyDeleteWow! Truly amazing work. Some much detail.
