A number of her pieces look good enough to
eat... of course I was especially attracted to the cookies and ice cream sundae!

prompted you to start working with paper, and in particular, cardboard?</b></p><p> </p><p>While I was studying for my degree at University (I have a BA in Fine Arts), I was walking
along the beach searching for found objects for one of my projects. I
came across a beer bottle in a sandbank. It seemed to have become a
part of the bank's structure and taken on a new role of providing
strength and stability. This led me to looking at materials differently
and how they could be useful for so much more than their intended
purpose. </p><p> </p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHRNRLv8G37uYIIkf7UyQqg6ESCVMgXy8LdtLeTtbbZiHw5sQE9DZewh5imuVnFN6KxH96s2QUkvZD6BPzP8XB0MJMhyphenhyphens2rhCf-iDhd0VOoHHAj0mA3sim12mTXvP3bGpOspXuKH2fhS0Rv6CQxnbKD6HbtjEFVD35-dqt5D1n0dqDoeB7pyKFfmivpM2L/s600/altered%20cardboard%20ice%20cream%20sundae%20by%20AnDee%20Lumsden%20who%20is%20in%20the%20Artist%20Spotlight%20on%20allthingspaper.net.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="realistic altered cardboard ice cream sundae with triangular cardboard cookie standing up in ice cream" border="0" data-original-height="452" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHRNRLv8G37uYIIkf7UyQqg6ESCVMgXy8LdtLeTtbbZiHw5sQE9DZewh5imuVnFN6KxH96s2QUkvZD6BPzP8XB0MJMhyphenhyphens2rhCf-iDhd0VOoHHAj0mA3sim12mTXvP3bGpOspXuKH2fhS0Rv6CQxnbKD6HbtjEFVD35-dqt5D1n0dqDoeB7pyKFfmivpM2L/s16000/altered%20cardboard%20ice%20cream%20sundae%20by%20AnDee%20Lumsden%20who%20is%20in%20the%20Artist%20Spotlight%20on%20allthingspaper.net.jpg" title="altered cardboard ice cream sundae by AnDee Lumsden who is in the Artist Spotlight on allthingspaper.net" /></a> <br /></p><p> </p><p>I began experimenting with many different found and used
materials with the aim to ‘discover and reveal the jewel within.' The
one that stood out the most as being amazingly versatile and beautiful was the corrugated cardboard box. For the past seven years, I have been
experimenting with the paper layers from cardboard boxes, and have only just
scratched the surface of what this amazing material can do. I look
forward to discovering so much more!</p><p style="text-align: center;"> </p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p></p><p><b>Tell us about your thought process for beginning a sculpture.</b> </p><p> </p><p style="text-align: left;">I spend a lot of time at my studio desk experimenting, mostly with the deconstructed box papers. It’s with the outcome of these experiments that I create beads and jewels first, always looking for that jewel within the material. Then, I have an idea for the sculptures. I don’t seem to have one without the other. I love to create sculptures with multiple parts, as well as create things that I can hold and touch; precious things.</p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoaQ9dimQw28hYDscjvGkqrftDbN9se_X8skht7TcdGT8cWKNcSivppEH-BUNMK5ERUJTj8J5Cdd0BE-4a1K_STQAWuPw8YwrlSs9YgGkRGD4NNS5Ok5igTKBmy1YDHlLuokEGE0wxYl3QSi2QgONnz9cSw7HRLDC399rGEho92LdsGujwtgNZGltVoSIA/s600/altered%20cardboard%20teacup%20by%20AnDee%20Lumsden%20who%20is%20in%20the%20Artist%20Spotlight%20on%20allthingspaper.net.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="realistic altered cardboard teacup and two cardboard cookies on saucer with small colorful images in grid pattern around outside of teacup" border="0" data-original-height="420" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoaQ9dimQw28hYDscjvGkqrftDbN9se_X8skht7TcdGT8cWKNcSivppEH-BUNMK5ERUJTj8J5Cdd0BE-4a1K_STQAWuPw8YwrlSs9YgGkRGD4NNS5Ok5igTKBmy1YDHlLuokEGE0wxYl3QSi2QgONnz9cSw7HRLDC399rGEho92LdsGujwtgNZGltVoSIA/s16000/altered%20cardboard%20teacup%20by%20AnDee%20Lumsden%20who%20is%20in%20the%20Artist%20Spotlight%20on%20allthingspaper.net.jpg" title="altered cardboard teacup by AnDee Lumsden who is in the Artist Spotlight on allthingspaper.net" /></a> <br /></p><p><b> </b></p><p><b>I'm guessing you enjoy challenging yourself to make the most realistic foods and other objects.</b><br /></p><p> </p><p>Yes, I do love a good challenge.

the corrugated paper layer of the cardboard boxes, acrylic paint,
packaging paper, and layered papers from the cardboard box. It all
depends on what texture I want to create as to what technique I will use. I also
love to contrast the cardboard with magazine collage. They are usually
sealed with matte varnish and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Renaissance-XTL-8004-Wax-Polish-65ml/dp/B003AJWN62/?tag=allthingspape-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Renaissance Wax</a>. I’m not a fan of gloss
varnish. <br /></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh13MIpqFh3Pu4MWj5Ry6A4HXk-eQd3vy6D0RQwztW4NCoHYxTHaRS-vEEOciBZyndpDD-KHaCN7XEW2ccqmgDkLQwCQ0SeLO22sMwvJHtRDVtI0P63A6ujPIOoMOPXplBV9j1qY_y7PHRjpBYO6-wtgz5YyjcO45VPqhHwKJCrU_zFt0vk34cmMxUBswt-/s753/altered%20cardboard%20toaster%20by%20AnDee%20Lumsden%20who%20is%20in%20the%20Artist%20Spotlight%20on%20allthingspaper.net.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="realistic altered cardboard toaster with two slices of toast standing in slots" border="0" data-original-height="753" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh13MIpqFh3Pu4MWj5Ry6A4HXk-eQd3vy6D0RQwztW4NCoHYxTHaRS-vEEOciBZyndpDD-KHaCN7XEW2ccqmgDkLQwCQ0SeLO22sMwvJHtRDVtI0P63A6ujPIOoMOPXplBV9j1qY_y7PHRjpBYO6-wtgz5YyjcO45VPqhHwKJCrU_zFt0vk34cmMxUBswt-/s16000/altered%20cardboard%20toaster%20by%20AnDee%20Lumsden%20who%20is%20in%20the%20Artist%20Spotlight%20on%20allthingspaper.net.jpg" title="altered cardboard toaster by AnDee Lumsden who is in the Artist Spotlight on allthingspaper.net" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>AnDee's website is <a href="https://nerdycardboardlove.com/" target="_blank">Nerdy Cardboard Love</a> where she writes blog posts that contain a wealth of information about working with this versatile material.<br /></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Her art is for sale at <a href="https://bluethumb.com.au/andrea-lumsden" target="_blank">Blue Thumb</a> and via her Etsy shop, <a href="https://musejewlpaperlove.etsy.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">MuseJewlPaperLove</a>, where you'll find handmade cardboard jewelry and also a <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1393319878/tutorial-recycled-cardboard-rustic-beads" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">tutorial</a> for making rustic cardboard beads.</p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhce48jFQ2LkslC9ttwpCAtkT1OGwBxl4VYD_NqQ0hxjIYt5Sb9kTUACSibS4bjQNjNSc1QIsnGo9Vm3w7Xkz2NS7-htvK0msdAL2NeZnAeauJwYPRxvJJm8hHXNCGe7yjRPACzZVSLN4P0eennyuPak-Ay0OpSG0lzvO0JgnudHl4gMPzxrOAU0Bxy3PDn/s600/altered%20cardboard%20beads%20necklace%20by%20AnDee%20Lumsden%20who%20is%20in%20the%20Artist%20Spotlight%20on%20allthingspaper.net.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="rustic altered cardboard beads necklace" border="0" data-original-height="589" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhce48jFQ2LkslC9ttwpCAtkT1OGwBxl4VYD_NqQ0hxjIYt5Sb9kTUACSibS4bjQNjNSc1QIsnGo9Vm3w7Xkz2NS7-htvK0msdAL2NeZnAeauJwYPRxvJJm8hHXNCGe7yjRPACzZVSLN4P0eennyuPak-Ay0OpSG0lzvO0JgnudHl4gMPzxrOAU0Bxy3PDn/s16000/altered%20cardboard%20beads%20necklace%20by%20AnDee%20Lumsden%20who%20is%20in%20the%20Artist%20Spotlight%20on%20allthingspaper.net.jpg" title="altered cardboard beads necklace by AnDee Lumsden who is in the Artist Spotlight on allthingspaper.net" /></a> <br /></div><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p><p>AnDee Lumsden is active on Instagram, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nerdy.cardboard.love/" target="_blank">@nerdy.cardboard.love</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Nerdy.cardboard" target="_blank">Facebook</a>.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>All Things Paper is an Amazon and Etsy affiliate.</span></span></div><span style="font-size: x-small;">
