"Die Koreanerin Kiwon Wang und die Niederländerin Nel Linssen stellen Schmuck mit einem Material her, das sich nicht in Karat messen läßt. Nämlich aus Papier. Die überraschend filigranen und edel anzusehenden Ergebnisse können Sie jeweils auf Webseiten der Künstlerinnen bestaunen."

"Mein Inspiration is, quite possibly, my favorite Website ever. The site's author, Elaine Lee, is a lecturer, writer, and designer/maker living in Singapore, and her site is a vast collection of things she's found inspiring. That she has assembled such an expansive and diverse selection of works by an equally varied number of artists and makers working with paper attests to her drive. That each piece she features is likely to look like nothing you've ever seen before attests to her exacting eye in curating works on the site. I visit at least once a week (and often far more frequently) to remind myself to have big ideas, to be unafraid of paper challenges, and to revel in the beauty of the exquisitely made object."

O Blog Mein Inspiration apareceu-nos há algumas semanas quando estávamos a trabalhar num projecto de papel. Desde então tornou-se visita recorrente e o primeiro a figurar na nossa categoria de links para sites de referencia “sights”"

HEAR THE SIREN. SPREAD THE WORD.

"Such beautiful work. I have dabbled in paper cutting and design before, but to say that I am absolutely nowhere near the artful expertise of Laura Cooperman would be a daft and gross understatement. Some works from other designers featured. So don't waste paper! Get arty with it!"

"Jeff Rudell tweeted a link today to Elaine Lee's incredible paper blog, Mein Inspiration. It features, quite literally, the motherlode of inspirational objects made from paper. If it's cut, bent, folded, crumpled, or otherwise manipulated, Elaine's got it. One of the few blogs I will certainly return to on a daily basis. Beautiful stuff."
