I stumbled upon a site displaying this beautiful lamp made of paper and couldn't take my eyes off of it. It was created by Kouichi Okamoto and is produced by Kyouei Co. Ltd., Japan. When the lamp is folded, the thickness is about 2 cm. Check out this link to find out more information and see beautiful pictures of this realy cool lamp. You can order it here: link.
Also, today hundreds of arts supporters from across the country have come together in Washington, DC for National Arts Advocacy Day, a united effort to tell Capitol Hill how important culture is to our communities, how much arts education means to our children, and how much the arts improve our daily lives.
You too can participate in Arts Advocacy Day by asking your Members of Congress to support the arts. By visiting the E-Advocacy Center, you’ll be able to send a message to your Representative and Senators telling them why the arts are important to you and your community and it only takes a couple minutes!
