Hello, I'm Babette.

Since 2018 I have been creating unique handmade paper mache animals and portraits of people. I'm really proud my paper mache animals have already adorned many children's and living rooms all over the world.

As a child I was always tinkering. Nevertheless, I chose to study Economics, a choice I have never regretted because it has given me a lot.

Nevertheless, at the end of 2015 it was high time to follow my childhood heart and give my "creative self" space. After following various courses and workshops, I lost my heart to paper mache. I discovered the many possibilities of paper mache and started to specialize in this. Versatile as it is, it hasn't stopped with paper mache. Today I also design and make beautiful creations from textiles, egg cartons and other recycled finds. I am now proud to say that I am well on my way to turning my hobby into my job, although this is only the beginning!

My work follows the cadence of the year; the seasons, the holidays. I seize every opportunity to create something special and therefore run out of time to give shape to all my ideas.

I like to share my passion with you and teach you the basics of paper mache and I hope I will inspire you!
