Paper Beauty

Normally, I just talk about writing, biology or politics in this space. But today we're going to do something different.

Canon has produced a site of paper art and craft called Creative Park. The site consists of a large number of possible things that can be built using the patterns supplied, a little time and effort and a color printer. The image at left is a Hiroshige print formed as a decoupage. The direct link is here.

I was turned on to this by the article in Make on a model of the internal structure of the sun. But I soon found much, much more.

Go. Have fun. Get excited. Make things.
