This week I have been inspired by some really beautiful paper crafts - admittedly after watching Kirstie Allsop's Handmade Britain, oh how I love that lady! Here are a select few of the pretties that I've come across:
1. Elly Mackay - beautiful dream-like scenes, all of her work is so pretty it was hard to choose a favourite!

2. Anna-Wili Highfield - the most intricate paper sculpture I have ever seen! Her birds and horses have so much life!
3. Thomas Allen - really fun book art. His use of perspective is so impressive!
4. Jennifer Collier - this paper typewriter must have taken so many hours to make! I love the illustrations on the paper roll.
5. Matthew Sporzynski - a huge collection of paper creations ranging from food to politics! I love the block colours and the fun "everyday" subjects.
Be sure to check out the online portfolios of these wonderful artists and there are many more beautiful creations to see!

I've really enjoyed Kirstie's series this year - it has been so much fun seeing her get her craft on and also get competitive. Paper is such a brilliant medium, you can make so many things with it
ReplyDeleteI've just been reading another article on book art and I love the idea of it but it breaks my heart to think of cutting up a book! Guess that's the lit student in me!! Love your blog, I found it through the button on Almostdelightful and just started following you :)
