Paper and light combine the functional with the decorative. Paper diffuses the harshness of light, giving it a warm, soft glow. In return, light enhances paper, displaying delicate and subtle textures, colors, designs, and variations in opacity. Paper Illuminated shows you how to use handmade paper in innovative designs for three-dimensional home furnishings, including luminaria, lanterns, room divider screens, sconces, lampshades, night-lights, and window treatments. You'll learn techniques to make paper more translucent and interesting, such as piercing, layering, collaging, crayon batiking, marbling, nature printing, rubber-stamping, stenciling, embossing, weaving, and more. Full-color photogrpahs throughout the book also showcase the unique works of a variety of talented paper artists.
