As a papermaker, I love all things paper. In recent years, I have become fascinated with rolled paper, as you can see when you scroll through my blog and see my paper sculptures and art that others make from rolled paper. Here is some art that I found that made my jaw hit the floor. I kinda marvel at anybody who can so meticulously plan out their work and execute it so beautifully. (Yes, that really is a chess set made out of paper!)
