• Flights of fancy in paper • Humming bird
  June 2, 2016 •• Published on: Jun 2, 2016 A blank sheet of paper. A common daily item with so much potential. Used by humans to make their mark since 2AD.

• Heads above the rest! & toilet roll.
  May 29, 2013 •• Published: May 29, 2013 Early one morning, I found threee empty toilet roll cardboards waiting for their departure to recycling. Why the collection? I’ve no idea, they just hadn’t got there yet. For Junior Fritz Jaquet these simple rolls of cardboard are art in the making. People to be precise, hoards of little people. Experimenting with folding, creasing and twisting. The pieces are afterwards coated with shellac and different pigments. Creating origami sculptures, with inner toilet tubes and folding them into expressive faces, each distinct and charming despite their humble origins. Junior Fritz Jaquet also creates a selection of Illuminated sculptures using a sheet of glassine paper, folded in half and closed with hidden, transparent pressure buttons (snap fasteners).
• 3D Paper Sculpture by Jeff Nishinaka
  October 12, 2012 Published: Oct 12, 2012  Paper is potential, curiosity, beauty. The texture, aroma, colour can evoke a mood, a memory, give an impression. Jeff Nishinaka demonstrates this through his 3D pieces. “We could choose any type of medium, like matchsticks, nails and clay. I chose paper and made a fish sculpture – it was an ‘ah-ha!’ moment for me. After that I quickly developed a feel for working with paper. I began experimenting with different papers, finding ways to shape, bend, and round edges on it.” Jeff Nishinaka.   Paper to Jeff is a living, breathing thing that has a life of its own. You can see more of his amazing work on his website.         See more of Jeffs work here popgive.com/2010/07/paper-sculpture here udayfun.blogspot.ie/2010/07/paper-sculpture & here designswan.com/archives/amazing-3d-paper-sculpture-by-jeff-nishinaka
