So, would you believe me if I told you this was made entirely out of paper?  I'll give you a minute to take that in...

So yeah, entirely made out of paper.  Apparently I'm late to the party called papercraft, but hey, better late than never right? It's basically an insanely advanced version of Origami, and just what I need... another craft to take up any free time I have (which would be none, incase you hadn't gathered by my sparse posting as of late. stupid work).

This piece is "Howl's Moving Castle".  You can see the entire Flickr set here. However, they do even better than that with this time elapse video of the entire project (which took 72 hours by the way).

So, does this inspire you to get out the x-acto knife and cutting board or what?

It's one of those hectic days around here.  I have to go to work and then rush home to live blog the Emmys which should be a blast since I've never live blogged before and I'm sure it'll end up being ridiculously silly.  So that means it's plug a fun artsy site Sunday as my brain can't tackle much more than that. 

Lucky for me, I found this gem this morning.  It's Netflix Origami!  I've always wondered what the heck I could do with all those leftover pieces of paper from my DVDs. I like to consider myself to be a little bit of a recycled junk crafter.  However, in truth I have a bunch of crap in my apartment that I intend on doing something with but it'll probably just sit and gather dust for another year.  Orginami though?  I think I can handle that while I'm sitting idly at my desk, waiting for a blog post to show itself to me.

Plus, I can never seem to have enough boxes around my office to put more junk in, even if they are made of paper. 

Anyhow, check out the site. There's instructions for all their little creations including the staple origami swan.
