Bridge Over River Quoi?

"A temporary bridge made of 281 cardboard tubes has been erected over a river in Southern France. Weighing 7.5 tonnes, it can hold up to 20 people at a time. It is just half a mile from the Pont du Gard, an old Roman stone bridge, and was designed by Shigeru Ban, a Japanese architect known for his both grandiose and humble paper constructions, as you can see in the gallery. The technical details make it even more stunning."

Emma Van Leest

"Australian paper artist Emma van Leest is using scissors like painters use brushes. Her technique, like many other paper cutting artists, is at first what draws you in to her work. But on second glance, after you've gotten over the "wow" factor, her particular view of the world comes through. Drawing on inspiration from fairy tales and the Brothers Grimm (a common theme) she creates little dioramas both three and two-dimensional."
