Milk Cartons-Yael Mer & Shay Alkalay
These three different milk cartons distinguish between the rates of fat in the milk by using form rather then colour. The form of the milk cartons reflects in a way on the milk’s texture and smoothness. The two back folds are used as the carton's handle, while the two in the front function as the spout.

How to make a Paper Infinity Card
Toymaker and illustrator, Marilyn Scott Waters, has been creating marvelous paper toys and sharing them freely for many years. Today I got word that she's made some of her lovely watercolor art into two pdfs free for the download so that we can all make an Infinity Card.
If you're not familiar with Infinity Cards, they are one of my personal all time favorite paper card mechanisms and are really quite magical to see in person. To make it even sweeter, they are super simple to construct. No kidding. It's just four strips glued at four corners, making a two-sided square, that flips open in panel combination after panel combination.
I've made several of them myself as art pieces, where I've made wording on each panel combine to reveal meaning no matter which way the panels are flipped. I highly recommend trying to make a few to see how fun they can be for yourself. And Marilyn's gift might be an endlessly helpful introduction.
scherenschnitte
Master paper cutter, Cindy Ferguson of Scherenschnitte, (the art of paper cutting design [pronounced Sharon-sh-net, if German or Sharon-sh-net-ah if Swiss] which is German for "scissor cuts") has announced that she has new eight paper cut projects featured in the eminent new paper cut book release called "Paper Cuts: 35 Inventive Projects"which looks pretty paper-cutting-good to me. I especially love how Cindy made her intricate and charming Alice in Wonderland tea party paper cut interlocking so that it stands alone!

Bombo! (aka Maurizio Santucci) Illustration
Like people playing footsie, some trees just wanna play rootsie!I like this fun, skillfully crafted illustration by Italian illustrator, Bombo! (aka Maurizio Santucci). Like a fine puzzle, all the pieces fit together nicely. The composition creates a realistic pop-up environment that I wish I could travel to, and I really enjoy the tangled roots and the nervous expression on the tree’s face.Santucci created this particular piece for the Argentinian art magazine, Atypica, and created another awesome collage to pay homage to one of my favorite films, Taxi Driver (1976).
The images and patterns totally capture the spirit of the film, and I’m now completely obsessed with his work! See more on his website, www.bomboloand.com.

Rubikon
I wish I had a real one of these, until then this will do :)
Rubikon is a paper model which is a fully functional photographic camera (camera obscura). In 1979 the paper model Dirkon was published in ABC magazine. This model was an imitation of the very popular reflex camera. Rubikon as an ever-green design, comes after 25 years to be a reaction to digital techno...

Paper animation wow! Mykonos by Grandchildren
Take art paper, cut into abstract and geometric shapes, film a nearly representational visual story set to popular music, film each small movement of the paper frame by frame, add four weeks of that by a merry band of animators.
I like the way the action and gesture match the haunting music perfectly in mood as well as timing. It's mesmerizing and can grow on you...
