If you’re in the Toledo area, pop-up whiz Matthew Reinhart is giving a talk about his pop-up books this week. Reinhart’s newest book is Game of Thrones: A Pop-Up Guide to Westeros.

I discovered these paper lights by Fifti-Fifti on the All Things Paper Blog (you will find all sorts of  other paper treasures here as well). I love the way you can customize these lamps and put them together. And the fact that they collapse and package flat is awesome!

Papermaking is alive and well in Latvia. Ilze Dilane came to work with me last summer in Colorado, and she recently presented her work at the IAPMA Congress in Fabriano, Italy. I am impressed with all of her projects, and flattered that she incorporate projects from my books into her teaching! Here’s a cute animated paper project she did with her students.

 

And speaking of Fabriano, here’s a link to some photos of the IAPMA Congress in Fabriano, which I just departed from this morning!

About The Sunday Paper: They keep saying that paper will become obsolete, yet artists, craftspeople, designers and creatives are keeping it alive and well. A healthy number of people are even making paper by hand (in some cultures they are still using age-old traditions). How cool is that? The Sunday PAPER is a resource for ideas and inspiration, all having to do with this amazing material. Each Sunday, starting with this edition, I’ll bring you stories and examples of people doing exciting, innovative, and beautiful things with paper, as well as links to interesting paperfacts I’ve unearthed from around the globe. I hope you’ll enjoy reading this paper, Papier, papel, хартия, Papir,紙, Papper, פּאַפּיר… and don’t hesitate to click on the link to leave your comments and suggestions!
