Kerameikos by Siba Sahabi 2011Photography: Maayan Ben Gal
You may remember a post from last spring about Siba's Tea Dance exhibit in Germany. Now she has a new collection of tableware vessels called Kerameikos, that are on display in Arnhem and Amsterdam galleries in the Netherlands. Siba used strong and light resistant white wallpaper to craft bowls, mugs, and vases, inspired by antique Greek ceramics.
And onto my newest blog crush... At Down Under... a slice of kiwi life.
Vanille of New Zealand cuts paper, quills, and cooks... there's something new and beautiful underway each time I visit.
Vanille has been making what she calls paper ceramics or petit pots. When I contacted her about photo use for this feature, she happened to mention being inspired by Siba's work.
Is it trite to say Vanille's gorgeous pictures make me happy? I hope not, because it's true. I've enjoyed making a few paper pots in my day, but none were as colorful nor beautifully photographed as these.
As I mentioned, she also does paper cutting. Here's a beautiful pitcher with Old World influence. It could be translated into quilling, you know... hmm, my wheels are turning. How about yours?
There's always something new under the sun.
Have a lovely, creative weekend.

Can't get over how similar the little paper bowls are to my ticket bowls. A funny girl scout type craft from ages ago. http://lauries-projects.blogspot.com/2010/02/ticket-bowl.html
Hi Laurie, thanks for linking to your ticket bowls - nice idea! I'm glad you have a tutorial that shows how they are made.
These are marvels, Ann. The paper cut pitcher is exquisite.
Oh wow, these are fabulous :-) Thank you so much for sharing, they are such great sources of inspiration! I assume this could be made through quilling, right? Hopefully, I'll try that out sometime :-) Thanks for this post!
Love,

The Creative Muslimah, absolutely... just roll quilling strips to make a wide. flat disc and shape it with your fingers or form them over a curved object like a bowl. There's a tutorial for something similar here: http://lauries-projects.blogspot.com/2010/02/ticket-bowl.html
I love the multi-colored bowls!
Какая прелесть! Тонкая работа!!!
you are so right Ann....there IS always something new under the sun. I am amazed each time you profile a new {to me} paper artist. The possibilities are endless. Yes, my wheels are turning.
Yeah, I checked out the link, thanks for it though :-)
This really is great :-) Have you tried making anything similar to this befor, Ann? :-)

Thank you Ann for this feature and have a great week-end too !
Ann, I love your blog and look forward to receiving it daily. Shared a link to your blog with my friends on the Hive today hoping to recruit new fans of the amazing world of quilling and paper arts. You are an amazing artist but it is so much fun to see who and what other talents you come up with. Thanks for sharing your passion.
Wow, love the colorful bowl, and the pitcher that is cut, is really sharp, it would be great if used for a quilled picture!
