New Animation Colaboration! Geraldine Trimarco Collaboration

Papertopias and Antonia Levy have been secretly creating a beautiful project together, the Geraldine Trimarco Collective. GTC is a combination of Antonia's photography, production, editing skills and my paper art, dolls and set design all put into stop frame animation. Antonia's photographs set up the landscape for my paper creations to unfold their stories in. We work together directing the narrative and animations.

We are overjoyed and delighted to introduce you to the first short by GTC, I hope you enjoy it!




For more information about GTC, please follow us on Twitter and visit our Youtube channel to watch the high resolution video.

Cheers!!

New Project! Brooklyn Postcards

Papertopias has a new project out! Greetings from Brooklyn, Paper Doll Postcards. The first paper doll postcard is now ready for your viewing and purchasing pleasures. This enchanting yet deceased Mermaid amputee is just in time for Halloween, I hope you enjoy!




Directions: Sign front, then write mailing address on back. Cut out face of desired unlucky one and paste it on the head of enchanted Merlady. Add Stamp. Send. Your unfriend, or very lucky friend, will then cut out the Mermistress and place in coffin for a very fantastical finish.

For more information, or to purchase, check out Papertopias online shop at Etsy.

Steampunk Table Numbers

As promised, here are some views of the Steampunk table numbers for the fall wedding I have been working on in varying degrees of completion. I am so excited to see them next to Rebecca Shepherd’s divine floral arrangements in October! The finished numbers will be cut out in delicate scroll contours and be held by 14 inch tall, hand painted, copper stands.
Also great news, Papertopias created a tumbler account, The Whimsical World, for photo updates on all things art that spill out of me, paper musings, and the like, as well as a Twitter account.
Enjoy!

Farmer Ekria Saves the Day!

Papertopias is unleashing the first wardrobe adventure of Farmer Erika (Dekalb Market’s finest Farmer). A ferocious struggle against all weather odds (a.k.a. Hurricane Irene) to save the fluffy chicks from being tossed into the duckweed forever! Luckily, Farmer Erika is wearing a fashionable weather-resistant garment to aid her, and you, as you both collect the fluffy, slightly drippy, chicks and escort them to their chickmobile!

New Doll of the Week!!! Farmer Erika

Good Afternoon!

This new paper doll is a very special addition to the Doll of the Week category. She is inspired by the fiery presence of Erika Brenner, the farmer of the new out door Brooklyn market, Dekalb Market. You might over look her at first, is it hard to be seen when you are the size of a eggplant, but oh, do not be fooled! Erika is never to be underestimated. She has her trusty steed, (Duck) magical powers, (!!!) a very lovely edible wand (to be revealed), unending adventures with her team mate.. did I forget to mention, she is the first part of a black witch/white witch team. Oh yes. But which witch is she?

So much more to come.

I am feeling a comic strip in the making.....if Erika will share some more of her spectacular adventures that is!!

I hope you enjoy coloring and cutting Farmer Erika out. Please send any projects you have done about Farmer Erika over to Ruth[@]papertopias[dot]com, and they will get posted up on the blog.

Cheers!
