From the pages of a book -- literally

Of course, David Stark had to take it to a WHOLE new level.  Why settle for stationery when you can turn paper into an entire installation???


I'd actually come across this recent work of David's a few weeks ago, but all this talk about paper helped me remember -- and remember to blog about it this time.


Inspired by books and fairy tales, this is a celebration of the characters that bring life to a special someone's story: “Life is made up of a series of stories. You are an important part of mine.” 

See more photos from and read the full story about the event here.  Also check out an earlier paper installation concept by the same designer, the purely paper flower shoppe.

What the pink--?!

Once upon a time, the evil stepmother decided that blue is for boys and pink is for girls.
And Cinderella from the Midwest said, "That's just dandy and fine by me, y'all."

Girly hues.  Soft textures.  Add whimsy to 'sitting-in-a-table-full-of-strangers-while-waiting-for-my-turn-at-the-buffet.'

Paper, felt, and satin meet at last.  In various shades of PINK.

Look-at-me pink satin ribbon.  Round and round she goes!

Pink lets out her darker side --- and she's never FELT so gooooood.

Scissor cuts paper.  Paper traps rock.  Paper with velvety swirls wraps wax.  Best of 3.

Single.

Double!

And she lived happily ever after.
