I wrote about the pleated kraft paper forms from Lognon, France a couple of weeks ago, but the link was in French. Here’s a description in English that describes the tradition of transferring the kraft paper pleats to fabric through a steaming process. Amazing!

Here’s a cool video about the intersection of art and science through origami. I’m actually hoping to go hear Robert Lang speak when I’m in Salt Lake City next month.  _________________________________________________________________________

About The Sunday Paper: The Sunday Paper is published by Helen Hiebert Studio. 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, I 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!
