Title: Paper Art
Paper Art by: Jen Stark

What I Like About It: This is a very interesting paper art work by Jen Stark. It looks like she cut out a series of circles, each one being smaller than the one before. This creates a cool tunnel effect. I also like her use of alternating colors. Another thing I like is the light at the end of the tunnel, which draws your eyes to the center of the piece.

What I Like About It: 1. The real world scenario and storytelling of the painting. 2. The toys all along the room give the painting a more realistic feel. 3. The constellation on the wall in the background. - I'm sure this is what all moms feel like when having to deal with two kids all day.

Title: Origami Tea Bags
Product Design by: Natalia Ponomareva

What I Like About It: 1. The simple and minimalistic product packaging. 2. The fact that the tea bag can fit into the small packaging and starts out compact. 3. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, the tea bag is shaped like a friggin bird!
