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 .

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.
