Happy Sunday, friends. ☺
Today's inspiration from French artist Anastassia Elias is quirky and a whole lot of fun! Elias creates whimsical artwork inside toilet paper tubes. She says her ideas for each miniature creation come from scenes of everyday life. Once she knows the scene she wants to create, she uses manicure scissors to cut tiny paper shapes, then manipulates them into place with tweezers—with remarkable results like the ones you can see in the video below. Visit her Web site (found here) to see more of her artwork. (Click here for more of her toilet paper tube art.) Enjoy!
Wishing you all a creative and inspirational Sunday. ☺
You are very inspiring!
ReplyDelete:) I don't know about me, but these people I feature certainly are. Have a lovely Sunday!
DeleteSeriously cool -- and something I never would have thought possible. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have thought of it either. Glad you enjoyed it. ☺
DeleteShe is right...I will never look at a toilet paper roll the same way again.
ReplyDeleteSame here. ☺
DeleteYes, it really is fascinating how to create Anastassia Elias!
ReplyDeleteHer work is really great. :)
DeleteWow I can't even imagine the talent it must take to create things like this...wow.
ReplyDeleteYes—and to even be able to come up with ideas like this amazes me, too.
DeleteWow! Very clever!
ReplyDelete☺ Happy Sunday!
DeleteSo cute! My mom used to love cutting out her miniature paper dolls with her sister. They made them from scratch and they saved chocolate wrappings for shiny paper details like buttons. She would love this.
ReplyDeleteIt would be fun to do that with my daughter, although I don't know if I have the patience. :)
DeleteI'll be a roller coaster one would be great!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday!
That would be cool. :)
DeleteHope you're having a nice Sunday.
nice artwork
ReplyDeleteI agree. ☺
DeleteThat is really cool!
ReplyDelete☺ Happy Sunday!
DeleteAwesome! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteThis artist has a ton of patience!
DeleteWow~ very inspiring indeed. Happy Sunday:)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Melgie. I hope yours was a good one. :)
DeleteInspiring!!
ReplyDeleteShe's very talented. ☺
DeleteWow. To cut those tiny little figures so precisely is amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt would take a steady hand for sure!
DeleteThanks Dana, you find the most creative and interesting videos.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoy them. ☺
DeleteI love cut paper work! I used toilet paper and paper towel rolls as forms for crocheted Christmas ornaments.
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to think about what kinds of things can be created using items we'd normally throw away.
DeleteHave a great week!
Wow, incredible!
ReplyDeleteI agree. :)
DeleteHow incredible! I wonder what she uses to keep the tiny pieces in place. Crazy glue?? She must have a very steady hand!

I'm not sure I would have the patience. :)
DeleteWow. That is so super cool! Goodness, seeing the world through a creative eye... --This almost makes me want to go exploring and figure out what every-day item I can turn into a work of art. Almost. ;) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDelete:) I'm not an artist at all, but I've been thinking about attempting to illustrate some of my poems somehow (not necessarily like this). We shall see... ;)
DeleteWell I guess that's one way to recycle. Those paper rolls are remarkable! I can't imagine the intricate work that's involved.
ReplyDeleteLOL True! I wouldn't even know where to begin, but I think I'd like to try.
DeleteYou know I was just looking up toilet paper tube crafts on Pinterest and thought I had some pretty good ideas on what to do. Now everything I make will just look like what the product was originally intended for, haha. Neat, though!
ReplyDeleteLOL Too funny! I'm sure your projects will be great. :)
DeleteI know she uses scissors and an x-acto knife, but sheesh..how does she DO that???
ReplyDeleteThe soccer one blows my mind. She cut out all those little tiny squares to make the net.
They're pretty amazing when you take a close look at them. As you said, the detail is astounding!
DeleteI swear, it's *so* awesome what creative people can come up with:)
ReplyDeleteThe most I've ever done with those tubes is make "loose-fitting" binoculars :)
I've used paper towel rolls to make telescopes a few times in my life. LOL
DeleteOh my goodness that is truly amazing Dana. What a creative person and with toilet paper rolls that is just so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI love how she's able to see beauty where none exists. :)
DeleteWow - amazing! Wish I could do that...
ReplyDeleteSame here. :)
DeleteThat is pretty impressive. It looks amazing...
ReplyDeleteI agree. I wish I were half as talented. :)
Deleteamaaaaazin' creativity!
ReplyDeleteIndeed. ☺
DeleteI love how intricate her designs are. :)
ReplyDeleteHello Dana,
ReplyDeleteI love your sunday creations there are just awesome every time. Thank you so much for your comment on SWS, and yes I did enjoy my foot massage and I was lucky enough to even get more without asking anything. The lovely vietnamian girl made me a head and shoulder quick massage.
My best for the rest of the week and happy fourth of july !!!
Grace
That was really nice of her—and I'm sure relaxing for you. :)
DeleteThanks for stopping by, Grace. Have a wonderful Thursday.
