Photographer and Designer Joseph Francis works in the visual effects industry in Hollywood. One of his best known early credits was supervising the computer animation for ‘Independence Day’. This weekend he shared with us a bodice he created from our various decorative papers. From the waist down, however, he designed and brought to life on his computer.
Truly enticing! Take a peek at some remarkable shots of his process and a more intimate view of the bodice.

Saturday, 11a.m. – 5:30p.m.The gallery will present an exhibition of Rose-Lynn Fisher’s recent aerial photographs entitled, Yonder. In her previous exhibition at Craig Krull Gallery, Fisher showed microscopic images of bees that, as she states, “altered my perception of scale and distance, and gave me a hint of the worlds within worlds that comprise our universe.” Her new aerial photos, made at 37,000 feet demonstrate how “a winding river with tributaries could just as well be a microscopic view of veins and capillaries.” The images are made in a very intimate scale of 4 x 6” on delicate, sheer Japanese Asuka paper (IJ Asuka).

Last week, I made a studio visit to see local artist J.J. L’Heureux, to catch up and see her recent works on our paper. She has recently been working on our KM-04 Surface Gampi Natural to recreate “paper bags” that she saw in Antarctica, a location that greatly inspires most of her beautiful work.
This series called “Bags of Bones” was inspired by actual paper bags that the artist saw in a whaling station in the Southern Ocean.
After recreating the actual “Bone Meal” bag, she made several of her own design of bags, all of which relates to animal cruelty or environmental damages. The red lining on the bottom represents blood, as J.J. states, and she sewed the bottoms one by one herself, making them look like actual paper bags.

2-ply Cherry Wood Veener.
One of the most rewarding aspects of attending a show like Codex is being able to see the works done by the exhibitors. At the store, we get asked all the time “what do people do with this and that paper???” and our answers truly do not justify the creativity and posssibilities that artists come up with.
An example is Codex exhibitor Lauren Henkin’s beautiful book “Silence is an Orchard”. See full descriptions and images at her blog here.

Etched Bhutan Mitsumata covers the book, and her own photographs printed on Asuka Kozo paper inside.
It’s simple and unique, make your own holiday cards using paperwood cards, thin inkjet paper(through our laser printer), washi tape, and PVA glue.
Our Paperwood Lettersize (8.5″x11″) is now also stocked in….
1-ply!
The great part about going to conferences is instant feedback and participating in discussions about your projects. We took in the issues with the paperwood being flexible enough for bookbinding, printing, and etc. and decided to stock the 1-ply paper backed wood as well.
