Magnificent miniature paper city

Paper craft

It's a city . Paper city ? Who made this ? It must be made of cardboard,I thought . I was wrong .

These creations took my breath away as they will yours . Mesmerizing stuff .Could almost walk through those alleys myself . Breathtaking city in paper .

And I thought I was brilliant at making those paper boats,planes ....oh well ! Never mind .

Worth a look .

These figures come from the “Lavazza Fairy Tales”. The announcement was made in animation by using stopmotion technique. It is installed in a paper city. Buildings are made three-dimensional and the characters are bi-dimensional. In order to make the publicity, more than one thousand paper shapes were used, and each of them has a different movement. The shapes were drawn, at the beginning, at hand and then, modifi ed in the post-production and afterwards, in the end, cut with a cut laser printer. Houses are made in shapes of polystyrene cubes covered by thin cardboard sheets.

Don't miss the intricately carved out figures throughout the city. Wish I could hop on to that bus myself !

The lights make the city look so real and magical .

Rise and shine folks ! There's more to this city than you ever imagined .Hotels ,parking lots, airline offices - all in this miniature ,storybook city .

Ingenious ! Isn't it ? Will bring you more of this craft and the people behind these beautiful creations very soon . Till then ,think about what you could do with a simple sheet of paper ,besides paper boats and paper airplanes .

A ball of confusion

Earth from the view point of a Martian ( if he exists) If we isolate ourselves from Earth , getting away some distance from our world ,it would help us focus our attention on what it is otherwise too obvious to notice while we stay on it . To see what we may be really like it will help if we put ourselves into the shoes of a "Martian," if he happens to wear such an invention of the earth in the first place . So what do Martians see of Planet Earth ? What they see today is a population of over six billion people crawling out from every nook and corner like caterpillars . Now ,almost all of this six billion devote a signific...

ISOLATION ON UNCHARTERED WATERS

I have often wondered why being diagnosed with depression, anxiety or any other mental disorder is so hard to conceive by other so called normal human beings. I know a person who is very close to my heart . In her late 30s, she fell into depression and her state compounded two fold as her husband and his family failed to see this as a disease that can afflict anyone. Responsibilities such as two growing up children and a disgruntled family weighed on her shoulders and her condition became worse . She was a compassionate, caring individual earlier but became hyper sensitive, emotionally reactive over time and responded to everyone badly.She was perceived increasingly difficult to who ever she knew ,including myself .During calmer times, she discussed this extensively with me but I was obliv...

Have you ever lost something that was more precious to you than your own life ? Someone special who was meant to be yours forever but now isn't ? Have you lost someone you loved unconditionally and then realized over time that the love reciprocated was only conditional . Believe me ,it hurts . Hurts like hell . So , what does one do in a situation like this ? You're hurt and you are expected to smile as if nothing ever happened . We don't grieve over a love lost in this lifetime. Not the norm . Not the done thing .Why do we only grieve when somebody dies and is put to rest physically ? Isn't a love lost , memory forsaken as good as a part of you dying ? We go into mourning when somebody passes away but we can't mourn a death of a relationship . That does not equate death ,one would say .After all the heart bounces back and we only mourn because they can never come back . They can never come back . What's gone is gone . Often I hear a person saying ' Oh...
