To prepare for an upcoming workshop, I'm focusing on upcycling paper for my thing-a-day projects this week. I've wanted to try to make paper beads out of security envelopes for a while. I love the different patterns on the inside of them.
What do owls have to do with Mother's Day? Well, nothing of course, but I saw a similar design a while back and decided to give it a go.
While I do think they turned out cute, there are definitely changes I'll make if I decide to try them again.
8" x 8" mounted on wood cradle panel
I need to figure out an overall title for these.

Cantellia Kusudama 4 units
This model doesn't look particularly astounding at first- but notice it is only 4 units. All areas with any one color are from the same triangle of paper, which seems basically impossible. I'm curious to see if anyone can figure out how I did this. :)
Designed by me.
Folded out of 9" triangles of kami.
The finest the world has to offer!
I got this box of paper when I bought the Epic! Film! Stash! on ebay a few months ago, but hadn't gotten around to testing it until today. As you can see, there are copious notes written on the box. The original owner seemed a little down on the paper because of how slow it is, but I love it! Of course, I'm using it with a contact printed instead of under the enlarger. I can see how that would drive someone a little crazy.
Anyway! I cut a few sheets of the paper down to 4x5, and used them to make some contact prints of ortho lith negatives today. Exposure times in my little Kodacraft contact printer (with 15 watt bulb) ran around 4-5 seconds. The prints? Are awesome. I love this paper! It *is* the finest the world has to offer!

I had to do this mega project today for my advanced drawing class, we had to make 20 copies of an artist book that we made, and i wasted A LOT of paper, i literally hate paper.
Rice Paper butterflies, also known as Paper Kites, are found in rainforests and coastal mangroves. These large butterflies have translucent white wings patterned with black streaks and spots. Their patterns serve to warn predators that they are poisonous. Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory.
Made from a 50-yard roll of 10-square, lime-green, military grade graph paper and lined with tracing paper from a 20-yard roll of light-orange, 5-square, military-grade graph paper :)
Quite a rare opportunity to see this container train coming on the branchline from Grycksbo to Falun in the middle of Sweden. It loads paper in containers, and the branchline was just refurbished and re-activated in 2003. It is also one of the few places where you can see the V5 shunter engines pulling a train on an open route.
Unfortunately, the line was now closed on 21st March 2009, as the owner of the paper mill (the only customer alongside the line) changed. The new company states that the new transport route would be more environmentally friendly. With that, the trucks would go to Norrköping instead, where the paper products are unloaded and put on trains: www.dt.se/nyheter/falun/article413227.ece#
