Justine from upon a fold continues to amaze and delight me with the unique paper goods that she gathers for her shop. Here’s a peek at some of the newest additions (side note: they’re awesome!):

Above, clockwise from the top : 1/100 Paper Model Set No. 6 – New York by Terada Mokei (the detail!); Sea Urchin Friends coasters + booklet by Yuki Nobuko; Airvase paper vase by Torafu Architects; Thread Lid (Antiprism) container/box by Azumi Mitsuboshi; Craft Log’s Gift Card + Tag Set by Yoko Inoue

And I LOVE that you receive a fun DIY paper gift when you order from upon a fold. Remember these adorable paper pencils? Well, the newest gift is a mini paper post box, and this sweet little box (and mini letters, too!) is rockin’ my paper-loving socks off. So cute!

Squee! The new greeting card collection from illustrator, Isabel Roxas, of Greenpoint, Brooklyn-based Studio Roxas is absolutely adorable. I am completely enamored with her whimsical illustration style and hope that we’ll be seeing many more greetings from Isabel in the future.

And, if you’re into ninjas and mad robots, you’ll want to have a look at some of the other paper goodies in the Studio Roxas shop, including these Chibi Warrior screenprints and rubber stamps. So cute!

Buess has lived and worked in Germany since 1990, creating intricate pieces with a wonderfully organic feel. Her portfolio can be found here, and below are just a few of my favorite details.
