AWESOME THING OF THE DAY: Cities Made Of Paper

January 22, 2012

Dutch artist Ingrid Siliakus makes shapes out of folded paper, but she's not just another origami hobbyist. (Although she can probably whip off a pretty awesome crane in no time.)

Instead, Siliakus makes incredibly detailed and fantastical cityscapes, which look like pages from the most amazing pop-up book you can imagine.

Some of Siliakus's work will be on display until February 29 at Erve Kots in the Netherlands.
