Here's a blog that I really think I should have heard about before!

I have various google alerts set up to send me emails when everever my website is mentioned. A recent alert came via the Paperkraft blog. Run by Ron Rementilla the blog was set up in 2006. It has a huge archive of interesting articles reporting on the interesting paper based things that Ron has found on the internet.

Hopefully Ron will now get a google alert alerting Paperkraft to the google alert I got via paperkraft.net.

Go visit.

Check out Paul's website, he makes some beautiful sculptures.
