Aimee Baldwin

Aimee Baldwin is so freaking amazing. I had heard about her surprise balls at Tail of the Yak. But I accidentally stumbled onto her website. The concept of a surprise ball is basically this: There is some sort of beautiful paper shape and inside are lots of small and exciting treats. They work really well for a dinner party because everyone sits down and there is a cool paper object that they get to open up and discover what is inside. Her site is still under-constructionish. Her work is AMAZING. (p.s.: I tried to recreate a little heart and it is NOT easy.) I hope everyone likes Aimee Baldwin as much as I do.

{UPDATE: Michelle alerted me to this article that names Anandamayi Arnold as the maker of the surprise balls. I love that there are so many paper artists that I get them confused.}

    Aimee and Anandamayi are both friends of mine, and they often work together. Anandamayi is the maker of the surprise balls.
