Hina Aoyama (Paper Cutting)

Hina Aoyama is and extremely talented paper cutting Japanese artist who currently resides in France. It's hard to believe, but she creates all or her extremely detailed pieces with just one pair of scissors. Hina was just featured in the new book by Gestalten, Tangible: High Touch Visuals. She sells some of her work on Etsy and she also has a lot of different pieces on her blog.

Phonebook?

Proof that recycling can be very sexy. This incredibly gorgeous dress was created from a phonebook. I found this artist on flickr. This is just amazing to me, the time that must have been spent on the details. What an artist. They created it for their Creative Processes class. The design of this paper dress was created and made purely out of phonebook paper! Just genius. The artist pleated, stuck, sewed, and glued everything by hand.
