Description:

I have two exciting launches within the quilling world to tell you about today. Well-known paper artist Yulia Brodskaya of ArtYulia just launched the first-ever quilling mobile game app, Paper Mingle. It features her colorful, tactile art within which players merge identical paper tiles to solve tasks. Search for Paper Mingle at Google Play or the Apple App Store, download it for free, and give it a whirl! Yulia says that one of the main reasons behind the game is to reach an audience that otherwise wouldn t give much thought to paper crafting. Let s face it: in relative terms not many people are familiar with quilling, and have no idea what they are missing. Paper Mingle will introduce our beloved craft to a whole new audience. She created the game with three developer friends and considers her part the easy one. I just quilled the images. It was my friends who worked their coding magic and made my pictures move and interact. We ha It s time for the 2nd annual Etsy Design Awards... andthis year there is added excitement. Now through October 7, you can nominate an item from your favorite shop to be entered in the People s Choice Awards. More information here. I ve rounded up a number of paper-centric designs from the Paper Party and Weddings categories to give you a taste of the variety of the 100 Etsy-nominated Finalists that are already on display. Anatomical paper lungs are laser cut in remarkably minute detail by Ali Harrison of Light + Paper in Toronto, Canada. Even though her business has expanded since 2014 when it was first featured here on All Things Paper, Ali still creates all of the many items offered as hand-cut paper cuttings. I m in awe of custom portrait painters such as Kartik of Coconuttowers in Kenilworth, United Kingdom. Just look at the expression on this sweet pup s face! There are also a number of baby animal watercolor paintings in the shop that would be perfect in Well, hello Autumn... perfect timing to welcome an array of tempting new paper craft books! Makers, a head start... whether you choose the paperback or e-book version of Making Christmas Bright with Papercrafts: More Than 40 Festive Projects! by Alice Hörnecke, Dominik Meißner, and Sabine Seyffert for Dover Publications, you can begin crafting holiday decor, ornaments, and gifts right away. Check out the Look Inside feature where you ll see the extensive project list that includes Advent calendars, paper cut snowflakes, bows, boxes, tags, wrapping paper and more. Art Makers: Papier-Mache: A step-by-step guide to creating more than a dozen adorable projects! from Walter Foster Publishing will be released on March 2, 2021, but it can be pre-ordered now. Allow me to judge a book by its cover... so quirky and cute. Projects by Sarah Hand (she has a papier-mache Etsy shop, by the way) include home decor, jewelry, figures and dolls. Creating with papier-mache is fun for all ages and I m a self-confessed fan of paper jewelry, but even if it isn t your thing, I m pretty positive you ll enjoy seeing the creativity and skill that Kirstine la Cour Rasmussen of Denmark folds into her stunning origami jewelry designs. She always uses paper that would otherwise be discarded... definitely a matter of making lemonade from lemons! For example, this chic black necklace with gold accents was hand-folded using paper cut from a Royal Copenhagen catalogue. Kirstine told me that she has long been fascinated by paper and folding. The Corona lockdown made for the perfect opportunity to fold away , and I started out with my first folded bead pattern and the first necklace in my series that I call The World on a String. Since then more patterns have come into shape. I use recycled paper only: worn out books, wrapping paper, discarded maps, torn cartoon and the like. All designs are original. I first draw a pattern on the computer and then transfe At the risk of repeating myself, once again I ll say how much I enjoy coming across a person who has a new approach to working with paper. Today, I m happy to shine a light on Paulina M. Johnson, whose paper art was recently introduced to me via a Google Alert. It is currently on display in Pencil, Paper Ink, a show that brings three artists together at Pine Moon Fine Art, located in Steamboat Springs, Colorado where Paulina lives. First, let s take a look at a few of her pieces that are featured in the exhibit.What attracted me to Paulina s style is its simplicity and neutral color palette, not to mention the use of negative space and perfection with which she places each archival letterpress paper strip. With paper on edge artwork, simplicity does not equal simple... far from it. Instead, the eye is drawn to the slightest flaw - I see none in Paulina s work - and, of course, to the overall shape. The design must convey what it represents despite lean lines. All Things Paper by Ann Martin is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported License.
