A number of members of this forum (me being one of the worst examples!) are nuts about paper arts and book arts. Over the years, there have been a number of good threads in the forum with links to sites and information on these topics, so I’ve combined them into one thread and stuck it at the top of the forum. If you have any great links to add, please do so!
Check this out; I only wish there were more photographs of his creations!

She never seemed shattered; to me, she was a breathtaking mosaic of the battles she had won. - Matt BakerOctober 20, 2005 at 1:33 pm #496217October 20, 2005 at 1:55 pm #496261This is such a beautiful site. The work is just awesome. I don’t know what I like best but the parrots are so interesting in the way the whole piece seems to be interwoven.

January 10, 2007 at 2:09 pm #496269Would anyone know where I can get some information on the art of paper weaving? i haven’t found any articles that are geared more towards adults than grade-school children. I would like to get more in-depth, some more elaborate crafts done with paper weaving.
I would appreciate anyone’s help in this, thank you!
January 10, 2007 at 3:27 pm #496262January 11, 2007 at 5:02 am #496249Hi Ercht. I can’t give you any specific references, but I think Nita Leyland has co-written a book on collage which included some paper weaving.
I have used this method in some of my collages. A couple of early exeriments are posted below.
The background and vase are woven paste-grain papers.To enable me to cut shapes out of the woven paper, I start a couple of rows of weaving then attach the top edge to tissue or mulberry paper using masking tape. Once I have completed the size I need, I carefully turn it over and brush PVA or acrylic medium over the back of the tissue – this soaks through to the back of the woven paper and makes the piece more stable.
I hope this is of some help.
