Captain Cat uses the age old art of paper-mache and recycled materials to create these beautiful animal masks. Not exactly practical for everyday wear, but Halloween is right around the corner.

Lori Danelle uses her paper cutting prowess to create custom designs from your own fingerprints. Holy detail, Batman. {via Paper Crave}
Boston
Manhattan
SeattleOne of the personality traits I’m lacking is patience, which instantly fascinated me with Karen O’Leary’s hand cut maps. The precision, the detail, the time commitment. Wow, wow, wow. You can check out the wide range of cities available at her shop and watch as Karen takes you through the entire process on her flickr page.
Posted In create, paperYesterday I was introduced to the work of Alexander Ovchinnikov and was immediately drawn to his silhouetted children’s book images. So sweetly dark and freakish. Right up my alley.
Matthew Sporzynski can do more with a few pieces of paper that I do with, well, anything really. His work is most recognizable from his features in Real Simple magazine – always one of my favorite parts of each issue. Unfortunately, neither he nor his company, Couturier de Cardboard, have an internet presence. So we’re left to drool over his work in silence. {via Twig & Thistle}
Posted In create, paperArtist Simon Schubert takes folding and creasing paper to a whole new level with these pieces of paper art. Lovely.
Very cool project going on in the home of recovering lazyholic!
“colorful reminders spattered all about my house might make me more prone to living my life a little better. that or give the appearance that i am completely incapable of being an adult without visual aides. i can’t seem to stop myself from adding more and more.”
I’ve seen the work of Wilhelm Staehle and his Silhouette Masterpiece Theatre floating around for some time now and am crazy for it. So quirky, so funny.
If Zoe Bradley has a signature, it is most definitely dramatic silhouettes. Bradley’s work combines sculpture, fashion and theater to create headpieces, dresses, and sets for ad campaigns, editorials, catwalk shows and window installations. All created with high quality papers and touches of fabric. The woman is quite simple this: Absofreakinamazing.
Ferry Staverman creates incredible art from cardboard, paper and string. That’s it. No bells and whistles, just talent. Her pieces look like they walked out of a grocery store or toy shop and I love that. These pieces are only a small portion of her work, so make sure and check out her site for more goodies.
