1. The Wound, 2. The hill of rabbits, 3. paper work, 4. falling apart...
I have a weakness for paper: Japanese paper, printed paper, colored paper, folded paper, cut paper,... but most especially plain, white paper. It has something pure and fragile. I also love my cutter & scissors. They are among the most used utensils in my workspace.
Paper art is beautiful, don't you think?
If you like to play this week, make your mosaic and add a link to your blogpost (not your blog please) or Flickr in Mister Linky (click on the button below and fill in your name with the link to your blogpost or Flickr picture). I'll pop over to have a look at yours. Can't wait to see your creations and find new favorites! :)

ReplyDeleteI love paper too. Last year, for my birthday, I got 100euros gift bon and went to a paper store and bought paper for 100euros... hahaha come back home with a whole lotta paper! Love it. I still haven' t used half of it. I like it so much I don't want to use it! :)

That is an amazing link, Star! I'm so bad a handwriting (unreadable) that I would probably type it first and then do the cutting! LOL

More than awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great mosaic! Really nice :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, it's so lovely to find another paper addict out there- although I must admit, those pictures are far more impressive than anything I do with paper! I simply love to buy it, then stare at it longingly, then occasionally pat it... :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm actually working on a Top Secret paper project at the moment, so stay tuned!
Off to check out your delightful Etsy store now :-) :-)

These were quite fun to put together for the group My Meme. Each week we have a different theme. Just found it last week, but it gets the mind working.
Wow, they're amazing! I'm hopeless when it comes to making anything with paper, which may be why I admire art like this so much.
