When we wove the newspaper..

Seeing all the junk newspapers stacked up in our flat, me and my roomie (a batch mate from NIFT) thought it would be cool to make them into something useful (inspired by our Sustainable Systems module..). We had a few evenings (two to be precise.. let us just ignore the number of hours, though :P) to spare and more than a hundred newspaper sheets rolled out into warps and wefts, some references, bit of brainstorming and need (which is the mother of "invention" :P :P).
The warps & wefts
In process..

And here's our first ever crafted piece of furniture..

End product!!! :D


Our own paper table.
"Pop" it up !
 The process of "beating" has been followed strictly while weaving, but, time and usage would be the real judge, I guess. But, we are lovin' it. :D
P.S.: More crafted pieces to be followed! Till then, RE-(duce, use, cycle, new, cover and spect!) :)
