Paper Cuts
Today me and the kids kept ourselves busy by doing papercraft. Carin made a pandabear, Robert a tank and I'm still deciding between 2 Japanese buildings.
You can find wonderful papercraft projects here: http://papercraftparadise.blogspot.com/search/label/papercraft
When it comes to reusing old books, he has perhaps one of the most creative ideas ever: he turns them into fascinating carved sculptures called ‘Book Autopsies’ that transform them from dust collectors to fine art. Dettmer’s work goes beyond the simple concept of carving the pages of a book into a shape. The paper is cut to reveal certain words and images, for a shadow box-like effect.
Paper isn't just paper anymore!

Pure, simple perfection.....
Eva Ehmeier(Hoedlgut) from Austria made a bracelet that took my breath away.
It's pure and simple perfection. Color, texture, composition, contrast......everytime I look at the piece I see somthing new, another little suprise hidden in the folds of the clay and the imagination of the artist.
