PulpCraft

Paper is such a versatile medium. You can use it as kindling for a fire, scrunch it up into a tight little ball to relieve stress and if you were to fold a sheet 40 times on itself, the resulting thickness would be enough to reach the moon.

Apart from these traditional uses there are many more cool and crafty paper ideas out there. And I’m not just talking about origami or paper plane designs (impressive as they are), but cool and diverse paper projects ranging from whimsical animal cut-outs to a very practical pocket organiser, among many others.

I’ve decided to collate all these diverse paper craft ideas into a blog I call PulpCraft. The name is intended to reflect the crafting of pulp based products — with pulp being the soggy, fibrous mess that paper starts out as. (It’s also in the title of a hit film, whose distinctive slab serif type font is the inspiration for the logo).

I hope this blog one day becomes synonymous with the fine art of paper crafting. No, I’m joking - it’s really just the subject matter I’ve chosen to practice the black arts of search engine optimisation (SEO), and to hone my skills in web standards design, web analytics (google/urchin analytics) and the monetization of a web site using pay per click advertising (google adsense). In the end it’s just a bit of fun really - clean, wholesome, hardcore fun.

So there you have it. Let the paper fun begin, and remember: no running with scissors.
