Friday, April 18, 2014 at 06:05PM My publisher Lark Crafts posted free online projects for my upcoming book "Paper Birds" on their web site. You can download the templates and the instructions for free, make your own paper birds and wait for the book to come out in June. So these free projects are sort of appetizers, I suppose. Here is the link to the free stuff page.
Saturday, February 15, 2014 at 10:15PM I found my publisher Lark Crafts had finally decided the cover art of my upcoming paper craft book Paper Birds. I saw it posted online a few days ago. I am happy with this final and improved version.

While surfing the web looking for anything related to Paper Birds, I came across this Australian artist Anna-Wili Highfield. Her animals are made of paper over copper wire armatures. The way she incorporates hand-torn edges of paper is just elegant and beautiful. The poses of the animals captured in a moment of suspension are just exquisite and truly evoke the sense of movement and energy. Here is the description of her work on her web site.

Anna-Wili's sculptures are stitched together from archival cotton rag. Her works explore the organic qualities and resistance of paper, generating a tension between the complex realism of form and the limitations and economy of the materials used. They represent animal life in an immediate way that conveys the energy, movement and physical character of different creatures. Her aim is to engineer a moment of contact with nature in a way that emphasises both the startling differences and similarities of human and animal forms and consciousness. |
