Paper Art, Typography, and Stop Motion

I'm very inspired by paper artist, Bianca Chang. I think the process is very beautiful and obsessive. Each paper is hand cut! The final effect is very subtle, sophisticated, and I just can't stop staring at it. Check out her website here. Be sure to watch it come to life through the stop motion.

Cross Stitch on Paper

I blogged a little bit about this recently. This is how the finished project turned out. I cannot tell you how meditative and calming it is to make these. The quote is something a teacher told me during my travels. Kind of an "Ah ha" moment for me.

Hand Stitched Leaves by Anika Mari

I've done a little bit of sewing on leaves before and it is a delicate but very rewarding task. I just love what Anika Mari has done with these leaves. Very poetic, in my opinion. Especially the ones with 2 leaves attached by stitches. An unexpected union that is both beautiful and spontaneous.

Question: if these two leaves had a baby, what would it look like?

Graffiti Spottings around Hong Kong

Most of HK is clean, but there is lots of fun graffiti in the alley ways. Actually there are also a lot of interesting objects and activities happening in the alley way if you are brave enough to explore. Most of these were found in Mong Kok.

Fun Design Touches in Hong Kong

I just love the graphic nature of these patterns I found around Hong Kong. Beautiful and functional, the way it should be.

Bubble Tea Stop Motion Project Teaser

Confession:I have a new obsession with stop motion! I've been very inspired by other artists making stop motion films on the interwebs. So while I was visiting Michal Garcia in Hong Kong, we decided to collaborate on a stop motion film about fun things to do around the city. Here is a tiny teaser. Enjoy. All the photography is my Michal. All the cut paper is by me, CuriousDoodles.

And the behind the scenes action of me positioning each tiny piece of paper. Kind of meditating after awhile. And Michal with his crazy camera set up. It worked very well by the way.
