Paper islands


I'm building paper islands. I don't know why, right now I would rather have the ocean that I think surround them, crisp and clear cool water. I would get myself a kajak and it would be like my second skin.

Séverin Millet is building characters.
Here's collage characters made by Clotilde Perrin.
And a whole world by Misaki Kawai.

Do you feel inspired yet?

These are so pretty, Camilla. The second one looks like it should be a quilt.

Oh, they are beautiful.

The second one reminds me of a puzzle picture (flowering hills) that I used to put together over and over again when I was a kid.
I loved it so so much.
That brings along many happy memories...

I just adore the bottom one, how soothing! I could definitely stare at that and just feel the stress escaping my body!

I really like the top island. I'd like to live in that little house. Having just returned from a week on an island--the joy and challenge of island living is fresh in my mind. I love following your links--they're always so interesting.

paper islands must have something to do with longing for summer, or summer vacation... ;)

oh. -när man ser denna vill man ju vara en såndär omtalad ö (klippa?) och kunna säga lite släpigt att "i'm an island" och liksom hänvisa hit.

love your islands Camilla, the yellow is my favourite - they do look like quilts! That's how I feel about the fields I see when I look out of my window - like they are puffed up with eiderdown!
