Helen, thank you so much for this series of blogposts on this amazing range of paper art! Your posts really make my day, and remind me of just how incredible this medium can be… just wanted to thank you for that. 🙂
The tree with roots is quite interesting. I really like it. Thanks for the art fun you are sending forth each day!
What fun this paper ride has been!
This has been an amazing series. Looking forward to more!
I think the last tree image has been created by Peter Callahan.
Hi Helen,
the tree is made by Peter Callesen (http://www.petercallesen.com). It’s beautiful, isn’t it?

Thank you
