Here’s a neat paper infographic about six different California plant species, all with different adaptations to fire. Click through to watch all six of the plants burning. (I can’t find a credit for the artist, but hopefully they were credited in the original article, which appeared in the 2017 March issue of Wired Magazine.)

I’m excited to be going to Penland this fall! I’ll be a guest instructor for a week during Georgia Deal’s Paper & The Unique Print fall concentration workshop at Penland.

I would love to stumble across this giant maze at Taipei’s main station. The 7,920 square-foot jungle maze, which was made with four tons of recycled corrugated paper, was built by the Environmental Protection Administration and the Taiwan Paper Industry Association to educate the public on recycling paper properly.

Matthew Shlian never ceases to amaze me in the ways that he transforms paper. I’m looking forward to interviewing him for an episode of Paper Talk this fall! Click through to read and see lots more on My Modern Met.
This is a wonderful story about Grant Maniér, who started tearing paper as a way to ease his anxieties. Over the years, he started turning his paper scraps (literally) into works of art, and he’s raised more than $250,000 from his artwork to benefit special needs camps, scholarships for students and therapy classes, and more.

MY NEW BOOK – I NEED YOU! I’m in the gathering phase for my next book about all kinds of objects you can create with a single sheet of paper. I envision a visual design element that runs through the book and features a gorgeous array of paper. Do you have a sheet or two to send me? I’m looking for samples of the following, and this list is by no means complete. I want to open people’s eyes to what they can do to a sheet of paper, followed by projects showing what they can do with a sheet of paper.

• coated papers, such as persimmon, indigo, etc.
• dyed papers like itajame, shibori, etc.
• paste papers
• marbling
• simple printing techniques
• rubber stamping/mark making
• stenciling
• dimensional techniques, like embossing, momigami, etc.
• unusual techniques
• handmade papers (this won’t be a book about how to make paper, but again, I’d like to show readers what is possible).

Guidelines:

• 8-1/2″ x 11″ samples (more or less)
• Please label these on the back of each sheet with your name, e-mail address, and a brief but thorough description including the type of paper, the technique, etc.
• Mail to: Helen Hiebert, 113 Mill Loft St. Unit C213, Edwards, CO 81632

I will credit you in the book and will be eternally grateful for your contribution. Thank you!
