Paper Sculpture - Oona Patterson
You might remember the beautiful paper lamps of Hannah Nunn. I always enjoy reading Hannah's blog and was fascinated by her recent discovery of artist, Oona Patterson.

Oona cuts and shapes elaborate magical, miniature worlds from book pages and tiny bits of paper as descriptive illustrations of her own stories and poems.

By the way, I've answered questions at Craftzine [edit: now called Makezine] about my work space. To be perfectly honest, I don't really have one... in fact, you might be a little shocked at my organizational system, or lack thereof! As I say in the interview, I enjoy the challenge of creating something out of my crazy box of tangled strips.
