“The artist is a receptacle for the emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web.” - said Picasso. So, here are emotions embodied into the paper - the coolest papercraft toys i’ve encountered online:

Dragon illusion
This dragon is lots of fun. I already have one at home, it’s pretty cool. The little dragon is made out of paper - you cut it out, stick it together, and stand it on a table or window ledge. But when you move around, the dragon’s head seems to follow you around the room. There is a video on the Grand Illusions site, which shows how it works, and it’s available for download.
Papercraft Robots Gallery

"Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Suffering follows an evil thought as the wheels of a cart follow the oxen that draws it. Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Joy follows a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves." - The Buddha
Hi, you've come to my blog for some reason. I am a web-designer, i sing in a band, and i am also a linguist. I like music, art and travelling, and I want to have a giant african snail. If you want to say something to me, go ahead.
Thank you for your time.
