Many of you paper lovers out there must already know numerous artists working with this fascinating media. The Internet gave me often the opportunity to witness some great work but I never, ever saw so much beauty and new ideas as I was reading about the new exposition in the Museum of Arts and Design in New York called Slash: Paper Under The Knife, from October 7, 2009 to April 4, 2010. This exhibition "..takes the pulse of the international art world's renewed interest in paper as a creative medium and source of artistic inspiration, examining the remarkably diverse use of paper in a range of art forms."

If you love working with paper, be sure to check out the inspiring creations of the American and international artists. I smell the opportunity to make a wonderful Christmas gift for your loved ones or your friends. Since I don't live in New York, I could envision a weekend trip for two in the next six months (hope my DH reads this post).

Thanks for sharing these great pics!
