More and more people are making a business out of making paper. How cool is that? Check out Pressed Paper in San Antonio.
Poposition Press publishes limited edition art pop-up books and prints, and they have a new pop-up card out just in time for Halloween.
Check it out! A Michigan paper mill has converted hemp stalks grown and pulped in Colorado into rolls of hemp paper, marking an industry milestone for integrated industrial hemp processor PureHemp Technology.
This is powerful. 3000 origami Soul Boxes initiated by artist Leslie Lee represent the number of people killed by gunfire in the U.S. every month. Since the project began in October 2017, the project has received more than 60,000 boxes. Touch paper, not guns!
