The Sunday Paper #253
March 31, 2019
When I was in Dallas recently, I visited the ceiling installation that Paper For Water created for the Crow Asian Art Museum. They used this Stardream Quartz Metallic paper, which comes in 16 iridescent colors in both text and cover weights. Paper For Water volunteers folded more than 200 of these floral elements designed by Ekaterina Lukasheva. It’s a striking installation.
The stardream paper is a medium weight, flexible 81 lb text. Quartz is an elegant, soft shade of white with a shimmer, and a pearlized finish on both sides. This paper can be printed with a laser printer or with conventional methods such as foil stamping and offset. Stardream paper is great for high end invitations, stationery, and packaging. Matching card stock & envelopes are available in a variety of sizes.

Tomorrow is the last day to take advantage of early bird pricing for Flexible Book Structures, my online class that begins on April 10th. I’ve been busy cutting and packing the papers and parts for the supply kits, which will begin shipping tomorrow. I still have a few kits in stock, so sign up today if you’d like one, or sign up anyways and use your own supplies!

Check out this Extendable Flatpack Paper Bed. It is compact, light weight, made entirely from corrugated paper, strong enough to hold two people and converts into a sturdy seating device, with or without a backrest!
This is an amazing story about two children in Jordan who combined their passion for paper to create a business producing origami and quilling kits. Waragami Recycling Corner upcycles paper in schools (one old book can be turned into more than 300 origami papers) while providing art opportunities to other children.
