I think this is fabulous. I want to touch it, to feel the contours. This is made of PAPER! I wish I knew who the artist is, but the Pinterest image didn’t give any information.

To give you an example of how extremely NICE Thai people are, yesterday when we were leaving to go visit Harvey at the nursing home, we saw the cleaning lady in the lobby. We did the traditional greeting, smiling and bowing, but I noticed that she added a little something ‘extra’ on the end of her greeting. It sounded like ‘may-ah.’ I asked Brian about it later and he said she called me, “Mom.” I almost cried.

I’m hoping the handy man will contact us today about my swollen door. Brian nows comes by to let me out, accompanies me back to my door and forces it open for me, then pulls it shut from the outside when he leaves. While it’s kind of nice to know that no one could sneak into my place, I would rather be able to come and go independently….

Khun Nong is cleaning Brian’s place this afternoon. I’m going to join him at the cafe (with Brian letting me out 😄) taking my sketchbook, Kindle, and sweatshirt. We’ll share a delivered dinner at my place this evening, with good conversation, backing up of computer and phone data, and more.
Josh Gluckstein uses recycled materials, such as cardboard, to create these wonderful pieces. An article on Josh’s work was written by Hidreley from BoredPanda.com
Whether you call it ‘quilling,’ or ‘paper sculpture,’ I think it’s amazing. The merging of the two creates simply stunning 3-D art, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the talent I’m seeing. I wish that the people who show it on Pinterest would take the time and effort to give the names of the artists so that I could share them with you. We’ll just have to be content drooling over their work.
I think these would be wonderful if they were created with paint or clay, but the fact that Calvin Nichols makes these out of paper blows my mind. I wouldn’t have the patience to do all the hair, for example, with a pencil, and yet you can see the individual hair in the fur, plus snow ON the fur. No words are enough.
