I have always love paper craft and paper cuttings. My mom used to make the Polish wycinanki (she’s not Polish, just likes it, I guess). I got her some of the thin fadeless colored-on-one-side paper to make more. I made 2 “paintings” that are watercolor backgrounds with black paper silhouettes glued on. My former school had in the library this book about making pop up stuff, from really simple, like you make accordion folds then cut part of it and fold that the other way, to as complex as Simon Schubert’s.

(I just ordered the Handford patternmaking book. Yay!)

Marlene, you give me too much credit. The most I put into that "art" was searching google images for "paper wad". Speaking of, how natty of me not to cite the source. ~sigh~ Amitai, I sure was hoping someone would add some interesting paper links. Thanks! Those are fabulous, more paper fashion.

And that’s what happens when the artist is truly masochistic – http://pingmag.jp/2007/12/03/jum-nakao-paper-fashion-art/
After countless hours of work the models destroy it on stage… *sigh*

Hey Kathleen, Don’t be so fast to knock your art. At first glance, I thought it was a flower.

I looked through these just yesterday. I was especially fascinated by those that had mirrors… and mirrors within mirrors! They are mind-boggling.
