Paper-Crafted Critters (UPDATE)

Diana Beltran Herrera Creates New Bird and Wildlife Ornaments

Diana Beltran Herrera has created new bird and wildlife trinkets to add to her impressive gallery of paper animals. Last year, Herrera released a small series of beautiful paper birds, and this new collection of playthings has bolder colors, realistic designs and new, stunning features.

Ferrera pays close attention to detail, and has painted each paper design to best resemble the characteristics of each animal. Each bird she has crafted has individual feathers in line with the original breed's aesthetic. The different kinds of birds interpreted include cardinals, goldfinches and king fishers.

Herrera is a young professional artist from Bogota, Colombia who received her bachelor's degree in industrial design. Herrera adds to her bird and animal galleries weekly -- I cannot wait to see what she comes up with next!
