Happy Hols, Y’all
The Sunday Paper #537
December 22, 2024
Happy Solstice and a warm and merry holiday season to all!
We made these Photo Cubes last Tuesday at a mini zoom workshop I held to kick of registration for The Paper Year, my online membership community. The possibilities are endless, and the variety of photo cubes that participants created were amazing!
Watch the replay and learn how to make your own Photo Cube. Pictured below: snapshots from the zoom session by Holly Heaslip, Mindy Trost and Elaine Chu.
The Paper Year is now open for new members now through January 6th. Click through to read all about it and join us.

After yesterday’s solstice, we are heading back into the light! I recently discovered the beautiful light work of Kawabi in Brooklyn. Maybe you saw this article in the NYTimes too?

What a delightful story about how Kazzrie Jaxen folds paper (including recycled paper bags and music sheets) into holiday decor and gifts.

This just happened: I was searching for something to fill this last spot on the blog. This article about sustainable practices caught my eye, and I started thinking about how sustainability is really up to us, as individuals and communities, regardless of what the government says (I like to think bottom up rather than top down). And then I discovered that the article is about Rachel Singel, someone I have talked to several times and worked with online. Serendipitous moments like this just make my day! Click through to read this article about the sustainability practices of artists Karen Boone and Rachel Singel.
“Abide by the answer” shows the relationship between nature and art and how they interact more sustainably with artists making their own paper and pigments from natural resources.

This is such a great headline and an equally wonderful story: Fold paper. Insert lens. This $2 microscope changes how kids see the world.
