Another inspiration ( I’ve known about her work for a while) is Julie.  Like her I love to work with materials I find around my home – newspaper, glue, fabric, wool, cardboard, wire and various bits and pieces (see my current pieces online at my shop or Etsy; view my favourite pieces at my online gallery ).   Julie is a contemporary folk artist who produces moulded figures, trees and animals made form glue and paper.  She is an avid collector of postcards, plastic dolls, old books, aprons, fabric, buttons, jewellery, used toys and much more;  everyday objects which she turns into the most wonderful creations.

I put your comment into Google translate, it decide the text was Portuguese and it came back with :
