Tjep的機械心紙雕

Insanely Detailed Mechanical Heart Paper Sculptures

工業設計界的當紅炸子雞Frank Tjepkema（也就是Tjep），生活經驗相當豐富，從小住在瑞士、比利時，後來，到美國紐約生活了好一段時間。設計的作品涵蓋面相當地廣，從基礎的首飾配件到家具、工業設計甚至是博物館都在他設計的範圍。

Frank Tjepkema創作了名為“Clockwork love paper”和“Clockwork Love Gold”主題的飾品設計，結合了許多元素一層層相疊，代表不同的想法，有如心臟的脆弱，激情，不確定性，和渴望的心情。這些複雜的作品象徵複雜的結構，但層層與心產生微妙的平衡；它在身體跳動讓我們活著，在愛裏綻放。

nsanely Detailed Mechanical Heart Paper Sculptures
The heart is such a complicated thing, both physically as it beats to keep us alive, and emotionally in matters of love. These complex pieces are symbolic of the intricate structure and layers of delicate balance associated with a heart. Developed by designer Frank Tjepkema, or Tjep., the two bodies of work, Clockwork Love Gold and Clockwork Love Paper, are described as “A jewelry collection evenly and consistently combining a great multitude of graphic elements in a multitude of layers.”Both collections build further on an earlier design, Bling Bling, which was a piece of jewelry designed from layer upon layer of overlapping gold-plated logos. The pieces are intended to represent various moods of the heart and link to themes such as “fragility, passion, uncertainty, and desire.”

你一定無法想像，這些作品是用木頭雕刻出來的...

日本紙雕大師--太田隆司

ou ou Ta- ta ka shi Paper sculptures

巧奪天工的紙雕。這個日本紙雕作者的特色就是每一幅作品都會出現車子。

他對車子有強烈的熱愛而且做工相當細膩，單單一個輪胎就會用七層不同的紙來呈現它的層次。紙雕做到這個境界，真的讓人非常佩服。

玻璃雕塑--羅伯特．米克爾森（Robert Mickelsen）

Robert Mickelsen's glass sculptures are stunning in their own right, but they also serve as a reminder that sometimes, the real beauty is in the craft.

It's taken the 61-year-old almost 40 years of building his skills to reach the point where he can even attempt these highly delicate, intricate designs.

來自美國夏威夷的羅伯特．米克爾森（Robert Mickelsen）是世界最知名的玻璃雕塑藝術家之一。羅伯特的玻璃雕塑作品十分獨具創意，他採用一種十分具個人特色的玻璃網狀紋理製作這些作品，這個做法不僅保留了玻璃獨有的純潔與寧靜的感覺，這種網狀的玻璃結構也引導人用另一種角度觀察物體本身，賦予作品不同的表情。看到這些羅伯特用由歲月累積出來的精湛工藝技巧製作出的作品，不管是人體、動物、機械、花瓶、傘…等都精巧地令人折服。

超唯美馬賽克、齒輪、鐘錶零件拼貼畫-- Laura Harris

出生淤美國威士康新(Wisconsin)的藝術家勞拉。哈里斯 (Laura Harris)自從1985年被診斷出多發性硬化症之後，便放棄了教師工作，開始創作馬賽克藝術品。使用玻璃、陶瓷、石材、齒輪、鐘錶零件等進行創作，讓他的人生重回光明，變成一位藝術家。他說“馬賽克讓我發現世界上更多美麗的東西。”

Beautiful Mosaics Made of Gears, Watches, and Keys

In 1985, artist Laura Harris of Melonhead Gallery was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, which forced her to quit her job as a teacher. That same year, she took up the fine art of creating mosaics, focusing on her craft full-time. Since then, the skilled mosaic artist has created some amazing works of art that not only allow Harris to push through her physically restricting disease, but also to hone in on her creative abilities.

There's a surreal quality to Harris' work that allows the viewer to be swept away into a fantasy. Each of her characters seem to be making their own journey, eyes shut, into an alternate universe where dreams come true.
