Paper art
Greeting card from Paper2
I’m a wee bit obsessed with paper play at the moment. I might be suffering withdrawals after all those collage cards I made over christmas, and then some (in advance for 2010 birthdays). I had a grand old time playing with scissors, paper, stickers and this fab Japanese masking tape Rebecca & I ordered a while back.
Check out this card I picked up from Paper2 in Surry Hills, with Parisian skyskape on the front and pop-up Eiffel Tower inside.
Rob Ryan's 'We had everything'
And one of Rob Ryan’s poetic paper cutouts above. Such intricate beauty. Next time I’m in London I’m making a beeline to his store, Ryantown.
I’m simply in awe of his talent – look at this dress he made for Vogue:

I love that card, it’s so intricate.
I got your book as a Christmas present and I just love it. Some really inspiring projects. Thank you.
I’m very excited. Just read about your book in the January 2010 Home Beautiful magazine and cant wait to go out a get a copy of my own. In the mean time I am loving your website and already finding lots of inspiration to get creating myself. I am not particularly crafty myself, but you have certainly inspired me to give it go. Thanks Kelly.
Rob has an Etsy shop if you can’t wait until you’re next in London: http://www.etsy.com/shop/misterrob
