Police Call Box : Dr Who - Paper Tile Mosaic - Medium - A unique artwork using an Original process

I came across this at Etsy, not only did it grab my attention due to the Doctor Who aspect, just the process itself is truly a beautiful art form of it's own.  I took the desciption directly from the artists page, but if you have further question contact 

Original process, Paper Tile Mosaic, funky, handmade, limited edition art. All pieces are designed and created by Canadian artist Choleena DiTullio. One of a great collection. 
You can purchase it here : http://www.etsy.com/listing/127378766/police-call-box-dr-who-paper-tile-mosaic?ref=shop_home_active

As soon as I created my Telephone Booth piece I started getting requests to do a police call box. Almost invariably from Dr Who fans. It was an easy sell after the fun I had doing the phone booth. Both of these pieces have finished with a great comic book quality that looks fantastic on the wall. This one is a little less bright than the booth and its dark setting and light allowed me to create a neat 'glow' effect with some yellow tissue paper. Also, if you look closely you will notice some nice, bright, brass upholstery tacks on the sign. This artwork works well in any area that sees games, relaxation, and conversation. Among many others, I used course blue, brown Tibetan, and orange and silver Peepal leaf papers in this piece

This paper mosaic piece is entirely handmade, including the frame. This is an original process creating the visual effect of tile mosaic using various handmade, recycled and crafting papers and acrylic gel. The glass-like, glossy finish is easy to keep clean and can be safely dusted or wiped with a damp cloth. The frame has multiple coats of paint and varathane to ensure a solid finish. Smaller pieces are mounted with a wire hanger and larger pieces are secured for hanging using mounted D-rings. Although it looks like tile mosaic it is very light, easy to hang and offers no worries about transport.
