Paper Dreams.

Last week I shared a beautiful dress made out of only phonebook pages. While surfing the web for other brilliant items, I came across a massive castle made entirely out of paper, formally known as Umi no Ue no Oshiro (A Castle On The Ocean). It was created by a student at an art unviersity in Tokyo, and took four years to complete. It comes with electricl lights and a moving train, all of which were also made of paper. The endless possibilities of paper never cease to amaze me, and I am very happy that I have chosen a profession that enables me to put a smile on someone's face with every item I create. If you would like to see more pictures of the castle you can check them out here.

Beautiful Paper

I have always believed in the sheer power of a beautiful piece of paper. Whether it be to create a lovely thank you card that will make someone’s day, or to use as a backdrop for a masterpiece, paper is something that is used often but never fully appreciated for the important role it plays in every day life. I was browsing the web in awe of some of the beautiful paper products all over the world, when I came across this amazing paper dress made from phonebook pages. You can see more photos of the dress on Flickr.

When I searched this phenomenon a little further I came across Cheap Chic Weddings which is a site that hosts a yearly contest for people to create their own paper wedding gown. A gorgeous paper wedding gown and Papeterie wedding stationery…what could be better?
