August 20, 2010Wow! The ideas and attention to detail behind most of these pieces is an definitely awe inspiring, paper engineering is a gifted and skilful art, one area that I have tried but never really had the patience. No one ever really hears of paper engineers, in my opinion they deserve more recognition for the creativity and time spent of each piece. Great post, thanks for sharing.
