Grāmata: Precious Paper. Paper Jewellery Design / "uztaisi pats"

This book contains 20 pop-up jewels created by world-renowned designers and contemporary artists who have worked with paper for many years.  For the first time was highlighted the preciousness of this extremely common material and the importance of recycling and not wasting it. All the items were made of 100% recycled paper that is treated using environmentally friendly processes, then tinted with vegetable-based dyes and skilfully hand-moulded. The descriptions of the paper jewellery and black-and-white illustrations are accompanied by curious and interesting articles that explore the history of paper jewellery and the development of various forms of papermaking, from ancient times to the present.
