Nox

Bats are of great ecological importance, mainly in pollinating flowers and spreading seeds, bats also reduce insect pests, reducing the need for pesticides.
In many cultures, bats are associated with darkness, malevolence, witchcraft, vampires and death.
I just find them endlessly fascinating and wonderful.

I tried to capture my own version of the bat and had so much fun doing so that I'm sure more will follow.
Nox is handmade from paper pulp and finished with acrylic paint.
He is about 10 cm tall (including the ears) and 11 cm wide (including the wings).

Nox will be carefully wrapped and packaged before he will be shipped off.

Check the bats out on instagram!

Each and every one of my Mierpapier creations is lovingly handmade with a great amount of care and attention to detail.
I always try to put a little something of myself in each of my paper companions.
