Our morning paper, de Volkskrant, has a very recognizable masthead or logo, in use since 1935 with only some marginal changes. The font is a variation of Metropolis Bold, recognizable by its long ascenders (see the two k's visible in the picture).

If you've ever received a gift bag it was likely stuffed to the gills with tissue paper. And what happens to that tissue? It usually is thrown out.
Don't trash, recycle it! Most tissue is recyclable, including the tissue in this picture. What's more, this tissue is made from 70% recycled content.
These are some of the paper aeroplanes that I have made since I had the paper aeroplane calendar for Christmas. I make the "plane of the day" most days - though I tend to miss out the ones which attempt to reproduce real aircraft. These tend to be more awkward to make and are less successful fliers.
Yesterday frustrated - today a little bit euphoric!

Paper lanterns come in various shapes and sizes, as well as various methods of construction. The easiest form, is simply a paper bag with a candle placed inside, although more complicated lanterns consist of a collapsible bamboo or metal frame of hoops, covered with tough paper.
Often associated with parties, paper lanterns are common in China and Japan, and similarly, in Chinatowns, where they are often hung outside of businesses to attract attention. In Japan the traditional styles include bonbori and chōchin and there is a special style of lettering called chōchin moji used to write on them.
Placing candles or tea lights in a succession of small white paper bags (known as luminaria or farolitos) is a common tradition in Hispanic communities during Christmas.
In China, paper lanterns can be classified into 5 distinct classes; the Baby's Bottom is the miniature class, often used in modern times with Christmas lights. The second class is the Rolling Paper, the tall, cylindrical lanterns often associated with restaurants and bars. The third class is the Tomato Light also known as Big Red; the classic round mid-size lantern. The fourth class is the Crystal Magic; the variously-shaped geometric lamps constructed of many square and triangular panes. The last is known as Buddha's Gastronomy; the large and extra large lanterns used to decorate temples and for show at festivals.
Red paper lanterns were once associated with brothels, and this is reflected in the term red light district. In Japan, red lanterns are often used as advertisements hung just outside bars and restaurants.
High-wattage paper lanterns are commonly used in motion picture productions to provide soft, edgeless light to a scene

This was an english paper pieced pattern from piece and press that I turned into a regular paper pieced star. I don't even know how to english paper piece, but I love the result figuring it out a way I know how to do it.
Some minor updates to this model: center is now closed, closed sinked diagonal flaps so they wouldn't hang & back side flaps are now locked. See you this weekend.
This paper penguin was handmade by one of the staff. I think one of the housekeepers from the Philippines? (It was a very international crew.) It was auctioned off at the charity auction at the end of the cruise.
My drawing for the CPCAU Paper Anniversary Challenge 😄 I used to create a lot of origami when I was younger, so it was one of the first ideas that came to me when I thought of paper. I wasn't sure if there would be a pattern to fold a pencil...but the internet did not let me down!
