Helen Musselwhite does far more amazing things with construction paper than I ever believed possible.
A final, worthy literary piece would be this book ring by Ana Cardim.

Construct Me A Story
These book sculptures by Su Blackwell have been blowing my mind for months. It is as if the pages of the stories have come to life in more than just the reader's imagination...

The pop up books are my favorite! they are incredible. And how cute is that book ring?! I want one.
These are amazing! And I'm not a great fan of rings but this one's pretty cute :D
Oh, I love Su Blackwell! Her art always makes me think of woodcuts and dioramas and dollhouses and magical little worlds come to life. So great.
The book ring is so cute! And I've always loved those 3D paper sculptures; The amount of patience; work and creativity involved never fail to astound me!
PS/ Love your Picture An Hour post! You make me want to try; to do the same:D
Wow, those are amazing pieces of art. I wonder how long it takes to make one.
IRYC (in response to your comment): Sometimes I look at the pictures of your sketches and see much of her style in yours--not to say that you're 100% similar, or that you copy her style...but I think your styles are similarly intriguing, charming and fun.
I think when I was younger I went through a phase of wanting to do this.
oh those first book cut outs are simply fabulous! so cool! I was going to pick a favorite but I can't!
those books are impeccable. it must be so time consuming to do such detailed delicate pieces.

Do you know Lotte reiniger? She's always a classic inspiration.
Thanks for the discovery!
Fantastic sculptures, I was such a fan of popup books when I was a little girl. Owning one of these masterpieces would be very much an extension of that... also love the book ring idea! I'd spend all day doodling! xo
