Mysterious Paper Sculptures
I've posted this under "Everything Else" because it really has nothing to do with gardening. I hope it's ok to post.
I work in a library and found where a coworker had posted a link to this article on my facebook page. I think it's quite magical and wanted to share it with my friends here on the forum.

Re: Mysterious Paper Sculptures
That is absolutely amazing! I have never seen anything like that. Look at the bird and all the detail in the feathers. Just amazing. I have a son who is really into oragamy. He is only 9 and will watch youtube videos and make paper things for hours and that is impressive in its own right, but Those sculptures are just crazy.
I am my gardens worst enemy.

Re: Mysterious Paper Sculptures
Sherryeo, thank you so much for sharing this! I need a good hour to pour over the pictures and soak up the details (I want more pictures!). Some commentors below the article summed it up so well:
These are so astonishingly beautiful and heartwarmingly eloquent.
I agree!What a beautiful mind created these.
Re: Mysterious Paper Sculptures
I was so touched by them and found them so beautiful - almost other-worldly and mystical. I just wanted to share with all of you.
I also appeciated the nod to the worth of libraries when so many libraries have suffered extreme budget cuts in recent years. I liked that one of the messages said "This is for you in support of libraries, books, words, ideas…. LIBRARIES ARE EXPANSIVE" and as the article's author commented:
"The word "expensive" has had the E crossed out and replaced with an A. No question of the creator's views on library cuts..."

Re: Mysterious Paper Sculptures
gwennifer, You said you wanted more pictures. I noticed at the bottom of that page one of the commentors asked if the person at this
http://www.sublackwell.co.uk/portfolio-book-cut-sculpture/
website could be the artist who did the paper sculptures. There are fantastic photos on there, too!

Re: Mysterious Paper Sculptures
Indeed, this is one of the best stories of the year!
43 years a gardener and going strong with SFG.

There are certain pursuits which, if not wholly poetic and true, do at least suggest a nobler and finer relation to nature than we know. The keeping of bees, for instance. ~ Henry David Thoreau
