Paper Dreams
I’ve long admired these intricate yet sculptural papercuts from Ampersand Duck’s flickr album and wondered who made them. Neatorama tells me that it might be Peter Callesen.
I might have seen it in More Paperwork too. I’m quite sure that I saw the single-use wedding dress in there. I thought that that was pure genius, conceptually and aesthetically. It packs flat for delivery, features Miyakean pleats, and can be recycled when you’re done with it. What more can a designer bride ask for?
Oh. While I’m here, I might as well post this extraordinary papercut book as well.

And I don’t know what’s “technically better” when it comes to papercuts. This looks pretty damn detailed to me.

Plus this looks a little out of my league.
