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.
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.
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!
