Amazing art!... Again!

I seem to be fated to continually be bowled over by amazing art these past couple of weeks. First was the paper art of Beatrice Coron. You can see some of it on her TED talk here.

Next it was the jellybean art and stop motion photography of Kina Grannis and her "Jellybean team".

Now I've just been blown away again by some gorgeous paper art that my friend Carol has shared on her blog, Teaching Your Middle Schooler. It seems an anonymous artist has been leaving presents for the libraries of Scotland. You simply MUST go here and have a look... if you like art... if you love books.

Like Carol, my favorite is the dragon.

Maybe it's the time factor, and the amazing level of detail that makes these all stand out for me. Even more than that is the whimsy of it all. The world truly needs art, if only to remind ourselves of that side of our personalities, and to be reminded of the beauty of this world and of our own minds.
