Papergraphics by Yulia Brodskaya

Russian artist, Yulia Brodskaya, creates these beautiful images out of ribbons of paper. They are so perfectly crafted that it is hard to believe that they are hand made. The paper sculptures are an inspiration for what could be made with everyday materials accessible to all of us. More photos after the jump...

We love the variety of her paper-craft artwork. Brodskaya uses her typographical skills and knowledge of color in amazing combinations. Some are in all colors of the rainbow and others can be white on white. Even her "Run Out of Ideas" piece is spectacular. Maybe because Valentine's Day is tomorrow, but our favorite one is the heart piece. Enjoy beautiful Yulia's creations!

It's called "Quilling" if you are interested in trying it out. You can find quilling supplies (including precut paper) online or at well stocked craft stores.

A little behind the times. Saw this back in December here:

Also saw the Chanel work here:

This post also lists the quilling so it looks like you got both from there.

This was a pretty common hobby in East Europe and Russia for a longtime, you still find old grannies that do it. We use to make flower art as kids all the time with our nana.

How beautiful! I'm tempted to try making one of those myself, but I know the results would be laughable.

tr, that's punky and makes you sound like a snob. Who cares who saw it first, as long as good work is shared.

these are fantastic. martha stewart feb. 2002 (? or 03) had a how-to on quilling. probably on their website.
