It is over a year since I first showed some of the amazing work of Italian artist Ivano Vitali but today's discovery of James Bassler reminded me of his incredible works. Here are the the subtle and wonderful hues of Ivano's spun paper balls, each spun from a different paper publication.

Ivano Vitali weaves paper, spins paper, crochets and knits paper into wedding dresses, flowers, tapestries and fashion. Newspaper and the printed word spin into new meaning and poetry under his superb craftsmanship. http://www.artnet.it/
