Stationery Show in NY
For years I have wanted to travel to the National Stationery Show held in NY each Spring. This is the place where artists show off their various paper goods for buyers and wholesalers to stock them up in stores. This year there looks to be lots and lots of really beautiful paper goods (cards, wrapping paper, pictures, and even trinkets). Grace from design*sponge has documented some great recaps with lots of photos!

HOW TO - Paper Mache Bowls
Here's a fun spring project you can make on your own or with your kids. Paper mache bowls! All you need a favorite bowl covered with plastic wrap, tons of tissue paper scraps, glue, pressed flowers, paint, or anything else you want to add to your piece. I love the added addition of color and texture that the pressed flowers make. Link.

Amaze your friends with your digital-photo-crafting-kung-fu!" - Link.

Origami Masks
Eric writes, "Origami artist Joel Cooper has created some utterly amazing work, which includes these realistic looking sculptural masks of human faces. And they really do look real. This guy is a genre all unto himself, and is really worth checking out. Nobody out there is doing anything like this, and he's starting to receive a lot of attention in the origami world for his work. He came from nowhere with this body of artwork that redefines the limits of what can be done with a single sheet of paper." Link.

Venus Express papercraft
Chris sent in a link to the Venus Express orbit timeline and a paper craft version of the satellite you can make! - "Timeline of events during today's Venus Orbit Insertion (VOI) manoeuvre, marking arrival of ESA's Venus Express spacecraft at its destination. VOI is a series of telecommands, engine burns and manoeuvres designed to slow the spacecraft from a velocity of 29 000 kilometres per hour relative to Venus to an entry velocity some 15 percent slower, allowing it to be captured into orbit around the planet." - Link.

Paper Pixels
Aram Bartholl's Paper Pixels - "Paper Pixels is a 30 inch, 8 x 8 pixel, manually controlled screen. Each of the 64 pixels is illuminated steadily by a light bulb. Apart from the light bulbs, no further electronic parts are used. The display is controlled by a long paper strip - the data medium - into which have been punched holes arranged along 64 rows or "tracks". As the strip is pulled by hand between the light sources and the pixels, these holes control each of the pixels individually." [via] - Link.

DIY Homemade flash mini-bouncer
Udi writes - "Here Brian shows how to build a homemade cheap flash bouncer. The flash bouncer can be used to increase the size of a hot-shoe flash. The bouncer is great and very easy to build. An alternative to the bouncer is the home made softbox. Another option for building this homemade flash bouncer is to use polypropylene sheet, it is sterdier then cardboard." - Link.

HOW TO - Magazine Bowls
This is a great way to get rid of all those old magazines you have stacking up. From the crafty artist, "I was inspired to make these after my trip to Chicago in May, except the ones I saw were sheets of magazine paper rolled into tubes. I folded these sheets into 'slats', and made the bowls like collapsable cups." Link.

DIY: The ONE SHOT paperbook
Mimi writes - "I wanna share with you the beautiful thing that is the ONE SHOT. Basically the ONE SHOT is a mini-comic/zine/book type thing that's made using a single sheet of 8 1/2 X11 paper. meaning, of course, they're cheap to reproduce at any copy joint, as well as super easy to five-finger on the sly at work, if you're into that kinda thing." Thanks Dorrian! - Link.

BoxBots
After you see these awesome robots made from commercial product boxes, you'll never throw any of your boxes away. This bot above is created from an XBox.com box. Others are made from Pop-Tarts, Dove Soap Bars, Phillips Light Bulbs...you name it. From the site, "While in Antarctica, I became obsessed with this project from the perspective of waste re-use. That's where the bulk of them were created. Now I just do them every so often to have a little fun." Link.

HPDA Calculator case mod
MAKE Flickr photo pool member Crabezoid7 writes - "I made this calculator one extremely unproductive night. A life goal of mine was to make a cardboard calculator, but it evolved into this extremely thin 3x5 creation. I have also realized it's potential as a Hipster PDA addon. It's nothing more than a gutted $3 Staples calculator, but I still love it." - Link.
