It sounds absurd, but even a roll of toilet paper has rules. Make sure you follow them.
The invention of paper as we know it today has brought limitless possibilities for its uses - mankind uses it for various purposes, and this artist creates paper animal models whose grace will amaze you.
Um, how to explain that? First of all, we can ask ourselves, why would you even shine with a piece of paper? And the (legitimate) answer can be, why not? And it's true, why not.

Cecilia Levy's tea service is not ordinary. It is extremely sensitive and thin as paper. No, it's not made of Chinese porcelain. It is made of paper, more precisely, from the paper of old books and comics, which would otherwise end up in a landfill due to wear and tear. Thus, in the form of cups, plates and other objects, they experience their second spring. Fascinating.
Artist Nikolai Tolstyh cuts animal silhouettes out of paper and places them in front of a natural background. The combination is surprisingly perfect.

Every now and then we need to separate ourselves from our smartphone or tablets, because even a good book fits nicely in the palm of your hand. But that doesn't mean we've gotten rid of the screen. Yes, reading culture is also changing. E-book readers have become a fixture, mainly thanks to Amazon, which is turning a new "e-sheet" with the Kindle Voyage, only 7.6 millimeters thick.
We are slowly realizing that we are living in the future. Every day, we are convinced of this by new technologies and inventions that constantly push the limits of human imagination and abilities. Thus, they completely reinvented even the most standard method of visualizing ideas – pencil and paper. Gravity is a tablet that allows you to 3D sketch in the air, i.e. with a technique without a screen. You can draw your idea right in the air above the tablet!
