My breath is back. I caught it. Want to lose yours for a minute?

It's 12:19 am and I am online while my husband and children are fast asleep. This is MY time. It's quiet and I wait all day for this solitude, even though my husband is literally 10 feet away from me. When I'm here though, that King size bed feels a million miles away.

I have 3 Firefox tabs open waiting for comments to load on Gather, a word document open while I'm editing my "How I Make My Money Online" article and yet another window open looking around for something to pass the time.

I just ran into something ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

I immediately thought of my Gather friends and knew that you would want your breath to be taken away like mine just was.

Now that I'm breathing again, please take a deep breath and click here: Peter Callesen A4 Paper

I hope you enjoyed that as much as I did.

Wordless poetry; certainly one of the most innovative forms of origami around. I've never seen anything like it before. How did you find this website/page?
Kitty g. Apr 21, 2007, 5:53am EDT
Thanks so much for sharing Faith!! :)
Jennifer N. Apr 21, 2007, 5:55am EDT
That's crazy that they are that handy with a craft knife, paper and glue. I'm lucky if I can cut a straight line half of the time!
Rob Appell Apr 21, 2007, 5:55am EDT
Can I just say, "Holy sh*t!" Those were awesome! The talent and detail...right down to the little hairs on the spiders legs. Thanx! This is a site I have to share with a few people. (Good to see you back, too.)
Lisa H. Apr 21, 2007, 7:31am EDT
Such detail--stunning! Thanks for sharing. I passed it on to my FIL who loves sites like this. And I can relate to the *me* time you savor. That's why I set an alarm for an hour before anyone else wakes up, even on the weekend. Hope you have a great evening, and enjoy the day!
Donna K. Apr 21, 2007, 7:52am EDT
This is wonderful~ Truly visual journeys if ever I've seen any! I love his synopsis at the end about his material and a few of his pieces too. Thank you for sharing this wonderful site.
Barb S. Apr 21, 2007, 7:55am EDT
That is so cool. I would never have the patience to cut that stuff out of paper!!!
Thom R. Apr 21, 2007, 8:26am EDT
Just think some poor tree that had dreams of being a big house one day ends up as a skeleton and a spider ! Well, shows we can't all be what we want to be! And another 10.
Sue * Apr 21, 2007, 8:42am EDT

Wow that is amazing. I understand what you mean about taking your breath away. Could you imagine the skill and steadyness needed to do such delicate work? My hands are way to fat and way too shaky for that. Thanks for sharing.

I have that same "solitude" Faith. My husband is up on our loft bed and my desk and computer is below. I love my nighttime!
