Who among us as a child did not want to do something beautiful for our mother’s birthday or to please an unusual gift dad on men's holiday? And every time, in order to create something beautiful with your own hands, it was enough just to look at the world differently and learn to think creatively.

And, unfortunately, there was not always enough imagination necessary for this to create a real work of art. Moreover, at that time there was no such useful thing as the Internet at hand. When all you need to do to create one is just look at a suitable website. And it was the most creative children who, from their childhood experiments, grew over time into creators who created real works of art from ordinary simple materials. And then we will talk about them.

Paper animal masks from Flurry and Salk

What is needed to create beautiful mask? A little paper, scissors, glue and a lot of patience. This is usually how simple images of animals are created, which everyone has known about since the days of kindergarten. However, sometimes to turn such a simple mask into a luxury item, it is enough to think outside the box and as a result we get such a masterpiece as that of Emmy Fleur and Nikki Salk.

However, for this they had to sit for long hours on each mask, since otherwise it is simply impossible to create such a masterpiece, in which there are nearly a thousand pieces of paper alone.

And such patience produces amazing results over time. A striking example of this are the works of Emmy Fleur and Nikki Salk, whose vivid imagination allowed them to create new innovative collections and conquer the fashion world.

Now these two girls are already engaged in creativity under the Paper-Cut-Project brand, designing shop windows, interiors and creating custom paper crafts. And now most of their clients are the largest luxury stores, which do not shy away from nondescript paper sculptures. And it all started with an ordinary paper applique.

Paper animal masks with 3D effect from MlleHipolyte

And the next one beautiful craft A French artist and decorator, who works under the pseudonym Mademoiselle Hippolyte, managed to create it from paper. It was his unusual take on origami that made it possible to create three-dimensional paper animal masks. These voluminous, beautifully folded paper masks can be called simply in one word - masterpieces.

The artist skillfully folds layers of paper step by step, creating a rich texture that resembles the fur or skin of an animal. At the same time, skillful selection of strips of paper with complementary colors allows you to create a sense of depth in the mask. This is all achieved using the usual origami technique and the constant creative thinking author.

As a result, he comes up with bizarre Carnival masks, which are not embarrassing to wear even at an expensive social event. Then you can see for yourself the masterpiece of the author’s creations.

That's how it is if you add a little creativity and original ideas possible from plain paper make interesting things with your own hands, from which you can earn good money. And first you need to find a suitable resource where everyone can start creating from the very basics. One of them is located at the link at the beginning of the article.

Joel Cooper is an amazingly talented artist. He creates stunning paper masks and complex geometric figures using the ancient technique of origami. It seems as if the artist used a whole arsenal of materials, although in fact only colored paper was used.

Joel alternates sheets of bright and muted shades, which gives the figures additional visual dimension. Sometimes Cooper's wife, a professional artist, takes part in the artistic design of the works. Now the Cooper family lives in Kansas and has its own store with the simple name “Joel’s Origami”.

It so happened that Joel became acquainted with the art of origami quite early. The artist recalls that in his childhood, which occurred in the 70s, his parents purchased a twenty-four-volume book “The family creative workshop” - a kind of manual on a wide variety of crafts. “Then I was very interested in the eleventh volume, entitled “Papier-mâché Figures.” Apparently, this was that turning point,” the artist recalls. The boy was so shocked by what he saw that he had an irresistible desire to master the difficult technique and make all the figures presented in the book with his own hands.

“I always liked the most complex models,” says the artist, “The most interesting thing in origami is geometry. Since I myself began to invent new figures and forms, books with instructions have faded into the background. Perhaps also because I read a huge number of them as a child. True, I cannot help but mention the book “Creative Origami” by Kunihiko Kasahara. The book is structured very competently - from simple figures to more complex ones. This is probably the book with which you should start getting acquainted with this craft. Detailed instructions should be a good help for a newbie,” says Cooper.

Cooper formulates his approach to the art of origami as follows: “For me, origami is a kind of compromise between the flight of engineering and pure aesthetics. My task is to make the origami figurine as attractive as possible, because sometimes correctly folded origami is like a perfect mathematical equation! For those who are just starting their journey in the art of origami, I would recommend starting with the simplest figures, being patient and not rushing.”

Another artist, Nguyen Hung Cuong, like his colleague Joel Cooper, knows a lot about the art of creating from ordinary paper. Vietnamese Nguyen Hung Cuong is a recognized master of making animal figurines.
