Paws on the Page • Folded Book Sculpture

A retired book is transformed into a dimensional paw print through precise, hand-folded pages. This charming sculptural piece is perfect for pet lovers, book lovers, or anyone who enjoys unique handcrafted decor. Style it upright on a shelf, mantel, or desk where the shadows can highlight the shape and texture.
