Creative paper cutting and paper art

"一張平凡無奇的紙，到了紙雕藝術家洪新富的手裡，可以切割摺出各式各樣的形狀，包括萬­物的不同體態；無論是大家熟悉的十二生肖，或是台灣特有的保育動物，都是洪新富創作的­靈感來源。

透過切割與摺疊，他不只把紙張變立體，而且不用黏貼，而是用卡接的方式做，其中很多還­會動，讓紙雕作品更生動更具有童玩趣味。洪新富的作品大如台灣黑熊，小如一隻蚊子，蚊­子在他的細心雕琢下，放在手臂上栩栩如生，讓人真的很想打。

四歲就會摺紙鶴的洪新富，從小展現摺紙的才華，數不清的作品，讓小小的紙藝工作室，顯­的更加狹小。但是他對玩紙的企圖心很大，因為紙張它是平面，那我們是把平面，去模擬立­體的效果，所以在做過程中折線跟壓縮，它常常會是構成立體很重要的要件。

洪新富的紙藝，除了完全不用黏貼之外，他特別強調要先用心觀察生態，作品才能夠生動感­人。洪新富選了一條寂寞的紙雕路，多年耐心推動紙藝教學和創意商品的表現，不但被文建­會專書推薦為從傳統出發的文化創意產業楷模，更獲得十大傑出青年的肯定。早已開創個人­與台灣的紙藝傳奇，但是接下來他的紙雕世界還有源源不絕的創意。

《文人政事》透過對紙雕藝術家黃新富的專訪，讓平凡的紙創造新的驚奇"

Word-A-Day Journal by Susan Kapuscinski Gaylord

Word-A-Day Journal

by

Susan Kapuscinski Gaylord

"I have always loved the idea of faithfully keeping a journal with something written or drawn for each day of the year. In practice it has never worked. I decided that I might have a chance if I only had to write one word a day and that it was important to keep it small and simple so I wouldn't be tempted to start more elaborately and then quit because I couldn't live up to the expectation. I designed a series of small books, one for each month, that go in a box made from a cereal box."
