We’re Cut-Off!

Suspended!

SpiritSentient has always been big on sharing beautiful creations.

Some of those creations are crazy cool videos, which we posted on YouTube.

If you’re looking for any of those, it might help to know…

SpiritSentient’s YouTube account has been suspended!

YouTube deals with policing/supporting millions (billions?) of videos all the time, it’s a big job, and as far as I know they don’t invest a ton of personal time into every single account, it’s more of a suspend-first-ask-questions-later policy, which I totally understand.

Anyway, we’re looking into it, and anticipate an amicable solution with Google soon. In the meantime, you can check out our budding new Vimeo Channel (Vimeo is a higher-end, more-attractive, sexier version of YouTube anyway — you’ll love it , they have slightly less selection of videos, but they also have way way less ‘junk’ )

And as an added bonus, we’ll take a look at something beautiful.

There’s been a couple artforms that we’ve noticed have really gained popularity lately in the western world. One of them is Kinetic Typography (which we discussed in this post, shown through the poetry of Taylor Mali), and the other is Paper-cutting (here’s an interesting and quick look at paper-cutting by multimedia artist Elsa Mora, who I stumbled upon ‘by accident’ while writing this piece. She’s got really beautiful works, and she relates paper-cutting to the shaping of our own personalities!)

A long-time lurker on SpiritSentient, Tracy Baker, recently started her first foray into paper-cutting, and gave me this beautiful card, made from two gorgeous types of paper.

The texture of the paper is so awesome. Doesn’t it make you want to touch?

Open it to find…

Inside it’s smooth/creamy/shimmery, and works a little like a pop-up book. Definitely describable as ‘cute.’

If you hold it up to the light, it’s partially translucent!

And a bonus of a second look at the back, SpiritSentient-style!

Hope you enjoyed this trip through a piece of paper-cut art, I’d explain more about the process, but well… I didn’t create it

Wouldn’t SpiritSentient’s logo look badass like that? Next-level business cards for that added punch? <grin>
