Paper Bags etc

I am having real trouble believing that all these gorgeous items are actually paper. From storage bags to

plant containers for inside and

outside to

candleshades the fit over wine glasses

even paper braces to fix to 

these fabulously simple aprons and to top it all they do

BLING! All by Italian company - Le Sorelle

Life Size Paper Cut Maypole - Stunning

I am often blown away by the art of paper cutting but this Canadian artist - Kristi Malakoff - has exceeded all my expectations of this beautiful art. This life size Maypole with chldren holding the ribbons is nothing short of genius.

Susan Cutts Paper Art

Susan Cutts (very apt name) does some of the most beautful paper art. She has an exhibition at The Shipley Gallery quite close to me so methinks I should pay a visit. More beautiful pieces at her website.

And It's All Made From Paper

I am always blown away whenever I see anything new from paper artist Jennifer Collier, yet again I am not dissapointed.

Don't be fooled into thinking these are the real thing covered in paper they are actual sculptures.

Paper Noodle

I never cease to be amazed by people who can do paper cuts. It is so intricate and I would dread cutting through the wrong part of the pattern. Paper Noodle creates some mind blowing pieces, take a look at their Flickr pages for more.

My Family Tree By Charlie's Hand

One of our daughters, Rebecca, gave us this gorgeous framed paper cut Family Tree for Christmas. We were both beyond delighted with it. It was made by a very clever woman called Charlie and her company is By Charlie's Hand. What amazes me is that she does it without the assistance of a laser cutter, just a scalpel and a steady hand. Go and take a look at her Facebook page where you can order one for yourself.

This is it inside the frame. Notice that our tree is heavy with fruit, any more additions to our family and we will have a forest.

This is a work in progress image I found on her Facebook page, not ours but it's interesting to see the process.

Upon a Fold - Paper Art

I never cease to be amazed at the skills involved in making things from paper. Upon a Fold is an Australian based company that actually sells all these pieces via their website. This is paper art for the masses and I strongly approve.
