Completely off topic but TOO GLORIOUS TO MISS
I have just returned from Vienna. On a shopping trip in the city we visited a very high end fashion store where I discovered a truly wonderful window display. Some of the most accomplished and sumptuous paper sculpture I have ever seen. Just glorious! It echoes Vienna's baroque past with a definite nod to Mozart who spent his later life there. My first reaction when I saw the name of the designer Asya Kozina (together I suppose with associations with origami) I assumed these must be the creation of a Japanese. When later I did an internet search I discovered that in point of fact they are the work of a Ukrainian lady. You can see more of her astonishing work here. https://asya-kozina.com

Amazing work. But why paper? Would it last? |

No. It must have a 'shelf life', but I suppose window displays aren't meant to be permanent. Apparently she even creates paper wedding dresses! Perhaps impermanence is part of the philosophy ..... like Andy Goldsworthy's nature sculptures. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Mind you, having said that, I'd hate to be the one given the job of throwing them away! _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Very nice and time consuming. My grandson's wouldn't hesitate in disposing of them..lol. Should preserve them in a block of resin. That would look grand with creative lighting. _________________ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence because there is more $hit there. |
