Magie Hollingworth fashions paper pulp into fabulous stuff. Her work is also featured at Flow Gallery in London right now.
Incredibly inspiring. Magie makes me want to learn how to make paper pulp from my recycled paper waste and make stuff too. Oh, if only there were enough hours in a day, days in a week, years in a lifetime.
Beautiful. Classic. Sophisticated. I adore seeing how artists come up with creative ways of using recycled material in their work.
the last image is my favorite. i love seeing the paper’s texture, and the black is so sophisticated.

ooh, just gorgeous. I used to make recycled paper from paper pulp – simply tear the paper into small pieces, soak for a while, and transfer the soaked paper (with plenty of water) to an old blender. You have to play with the water/paper ratio a bit, and it can wreck your blender (hence the old!) but eventually you get paper pulp! Then, it’s up to you what you do with it – I certainly never did anything as creative as these two fantastic artists!
