In the Studio:

If you enjoyed the luminaria tutorial, maybe you’d like to join my online class Paper Illuminated. Think summer camp for paper art without the travel! The course is now open for registration. Join us and create the projects featured below. I’ve put together a supply kit that you can order when you sign up – order everything you need or just the lamp parts if you have your own paper.

Papery Tidbits

• I’m looking forward to exploring a new part of California over 4th of July week. There’s still room to join me in one or both of these classes: The Potential of Paper and Paper Sculpture.

I love this! The University of Toronto’s Hart House currently has this rainbow flag of cranes on display for Pride month.

A new exhibit at MoMA, Bodys Isek Kingelez: City Dreams, shows the late artist’s intricate sculptures made largely of paper products and created to help people see the magnificent places in his mind.

I really enjoy seeing the work of the members of Club Paper. Paula Graham created this lovely little lantern in my Paper Weaving online class and shared this photo with the group. Join Club Paper! It’s my free facebook group where you can share you’re working on, get encouragement when you need a little push, and be inspired with new ideas, tips, & tricks.

Bee saving paper? How brilliant, and I hope it works! The paper was designed by paper craftswoman Malgorzata Lasocka, owner of Manufaktura Papieru Czerpanego w Kobylce in Poland and four former creatives at Saatchi & Saatchi. The paper is made with a pulp that contains a type of energy-rich glucose known as “fondant for bees,” a substance used by beekeepers to feed bees over the winter. (Special thanks to those of you who alerted me to this story).
Remember the guy I wrote about who made the 23 mile long paper chain? Check out Roy Abo, who hopes his origami umbrellas are listed in the Guinness World Records one day. He has made thousands of them—4,654 at last count!
