Disneyland Paper-Sculpture-O-Rama

This morning we put the finishing touches on the most "intense" paper sculpture I've done to date. Five feet long and 2 feet high, hand-cut, curled, folded, and embossed papers - and a handful of wooden dowels and such - assembled into a mini-mural of early Disneyland treats. 

We made every attempt to pack in all our favorites from the Park's fledgling years, from the Moonliner Rocket to the Hall of Chemistry, Fort Wilderness to the Silver Banjo. Jungle Cruise, Indian Village, Conestoga Wagons, Skyway Chalet, Astrojets, Casey Jr, and those cool tripod-lamp thingys from 1955 Tomorrowland.  All on a hand-woven silk backing under UV-protective plexiglass.  You can view it on display at Disneyland starting July 17th...and maybe you'll own it!

Paper sculptures remind me of craft books that my mom had in the 1960's. I still remember that's how I learned about the concept of scoring paper for crisp accurate folds.

Of course none of the examples in those books were as spectacular as yours!

That's fantastic - so much detail! It would look great hung up next to my Kidney-Daily Tiki Room Fountain from a few years ago. ;)

How long does it take to do something like this?

Kevin, that's amazing. You and Jody continue to produce great work that causes my friends and I to spend plenty of our disposable income on. One tiny thing and I hate to nitpick (and hopefully there's time to fix it!) the apostrophe before the 55 should be the other way around!
