25 Days of Paper 2016, Day 11
The May project in the Twelve Months of Paper calendar is this swirling flower, created with a thai momi marbled paper that really makes it swirl! You can find this paper through retail shops listed here.
When I was working on this design, I found a small wooden spool in my studio and got the idea of having that be a center for the flower… you can screw the spool into the wall and then attach the flower to it. I made a little video showing how this works.

And here’s your Sunday Paper, in a slightly different order.
I love the work of Ann Hamilton and recently stumbled across this older book project of hers, called lineament • book/ball.
Melanie Mowinski has a lovely contemplative blog that features a collage-a-day during the advent season. This year, she’s inviting us to make a collage too by providing prompts. Click here to view a recent assignment. And here’s her first post of the season.
Wow, these are some amazing pleated sculptures by Goran Konjevod!
May Babcock has a wonderful blog about handmade paper called Paper Slurry. This week she profiled an innovative paper studio called Fresh Presh. Read all about it!
ExSpelled is a magical paper craft game in the form of a video game that was recently funded on Kickstarter. Can’t afford “fancy” magic schools? Born to non-magical parents? You’re welcome at Whimberly’s College for the Magical Arts! Scroll down at the link to watch the video.

In the Studio:
There’s a new podcast on Paper Talk. I had the pleasure of meeting Simon Barcham Green this fall, whose family began in the papermaking business in the 1800’s in England. Have a listen!
