Artist: David Wilson
David Wilson likes to make, draw and film things. After graduating from the University of Brighton in July 2007, David was quickly snapped up by Blink Production's digital wing, Blink Digital, and has proceeded to make waves in the creative industry.
Throughout university, David entered into any film competition going and ending up animating and directing music videos for the likes of DNTEL and Metronomy. A major highlight was contributing to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs's music video "Cheated Hearts" and even ended up joining them on stage for their live performance at the Reading Festival in 2006.
In the year since graduating he has produced idents for MTV and E4, and a series of promotional virals for charities such as Shelter, Action Aid and C.A.L.M. David also regularly entertains the crowds with his animated club visuals at London club nights such as Foreign and Greco Roman.

we (lee jae gu & seo won seon) prepared this book for young man and children.
we used several paper to easy.
I was chatting with Joei who's a calligrapher in Japan, she taught me to use 1:10 bleach to play with photos.
I have so many "failed" photos that are either too dark or so meaningless I wish they were never developed. Now I can play with them without wasting!
I had folded this model before and when I wanted to reverse engineer Dasssa's Floral Perpetua I thought refolding this model would help me, so I did. I just hadn't gotten a descent picture to show.
This model is really inefficient, because with an octagon cut out of a 70 x 70 cm (27.5 in) square, I only got 4 layers.
So I had a hard time finding out what sort of Methyl Cellulose I should use on thin paper like unryu (like washi, made with mulberry or something similar). MC makes it stiff- you get it as a powder and mix it up, apply it, let it dry, etc.
I got a great tip from someone on the Origami-L mailing list to use Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose, which apparently dries stiffer than regular methyl cellulose. I'm not a chemist (that's my wife!) so I really wouldn't know, but I checked out the place he recommended. it was $26.95 for a 100g bottle, which would have lasted quite a while but seemed expensive to the cheap old man inside me.
So having put this off for a while (and I picked up a large supply of great papers that need it!) I happened across something this weekend that seems to solve my problem.
at my parent's house, working down in my dad's woodshop, I noticed a can of "spray starch" he uses to make his work shirts press flat and stiff. I looked at the ingredients list, and lo and behold- besides water and propellant, the main ingredient was none other than Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose.
I tested it out on paper- sprayed it with the stuff (called "Magic Sizing") and ironed it flat using a normal clothes iron (use a sheet of linen or other smooth thin cloth between your iron and the paper or you'll get starchy stuff all over the iron. yuck.)
it makes for VERY flat and smooth paper, but very springy and strong. it's a joy to fold. and there's really not much waiting for it to dry, as it takes about 3 minutes to really soak in, and then about 2 or 3 minutes to iron it flat and dry.
the best part? the stuff in the spray can cost about $1, and it's a big can!
or maybe the best part is the lovely laundry smell the paper has after you're done. (I'm looking for "fragrance free" spray, but haven't found any yet.)
I tested several different brands of "spray starch", and only the Magic Sizing brand specifically lists the methyl cellulose in the ingredients. the others probably have something similar, but it's just listed as "polymers" etc. they seem to work about the same, though, so I wouldn't worry about it too much if you can't find this particular brand.
I tested various levels of application (ranging from a light spray to a full soaking) but there's only so much MC the paper can absorb, so the supersoaking doesn't do much other than make your ironing work harder. Also, if the paper gets too wet, it becomes very difficult to eliminate wrinkles, etc.
Ironing larger sheets (1m squared) becomes tricky, but I'm working on a process for that. it's not really solved yet, though.
I'm working on better documentation for this whole process, so if it's interesting for you I'd suggest waiting until I'm finished.

3-d paper crafts adorn a reference desk in the Springfield Township, Montgomery County, Pa Library.
Teen librarian Kris DeLabio leads workshops for children in making these colorful eye-catching sculptures.
The figures are made by printing onto card stock individual patterns that she purchases or finds on websites like Pinterest. The stiff paper is then scored along the lines and the pieces are cut out then glued together to form the three dimensional shapes. DeLabio gave a peek inside a half-finished blue pumpkin to reveal the numbers printed inside each piece and on tab, attached. The number indicates when, in the sequence, the piece goes and the tab, where the subsequent piece gets attached.
In addition, DeLabio makes folded book art using old library books that have lived out their useful lives as reading material. She recycles them into fanned art through simple folds along many pages. A paper mouse book was keeping company with a hedgehog book at the time of your correspondent’s visit. DeLabio has also made more challenging ones such as a celtic knot and a birdhouse. And a vase she fashioned out of one such old book serves as a pen-holder in the library. Watch video interview here

I new version of my paper ball ornaments. These are more like pillows that spheres. I like the shape and the gold metallic paper adds an old fashioned look to them.
All the paper that was waiting in the queue of the "broken" printer. Wasn't so broken after we pressed the button on the front of the printer and put more paper in. Stuff came out that was from November 2005!
Ideum recently tested out a paper prototype both with Ideum staff and onsite at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles. To learn more about Ideum's Creative Services visit our website.
Tubes arrive where I am standing as 6m lengths. These are cut and shaped by the line of machines on the right of the picture before being stored at the far end of the shed. The formed tubes then flow back down the left side of the shed through the welding booths until they are complete frames.
The frames are left to cool, and then their alignment is checked on the setting table before they are checked for quality and packed ready for dispatch.
Although they look menacing, they are actually valuable insects in the garden as they eat a lot of undesirable insects.
Due to government regulations, many supermarket outlets are adopting plastic-free policies. Paper bags are becoming commonplace which is great when the weather is dry, but can cause a nightmare for commuters in the rainy season. In the latter case, the groceries may be packed in used cardboard boxes and tied with twine for easy carriage.
