Wrapped: Cosy clay sculptures make us feel warm and fuzzy inside

This beautiful collection of clay sculptures is the handiwork of Israeli-based illustrator, character and game designer, Lena Guberman.

Written By:
Clay figure of a girl in red and white clothing resting on a white surface with red line drawings of sleeping figures and small hearts

Currently working as an artist for a games company, Lena's artistic talents cross many mediums – from book illustration to character and background design for movies.

Most recently, the artist has experimented with clay – a medium currently enjoying a fierce resurgence in the art world – crafting delicate sculptures of little girls living in an imaginary world.

Some of the cute characters enjoy making snow angels and hanging out with gingerbread teddy bears, and others sleep. Discover more at lenag.carbonmade.com.
