We hereby cordially invite you to join our whimsical otherworld where food and paper are one and the same. "Well, I never heard it before," even Alice in Wonderland remarked; "but it sounds uncommon nonsense." But alas, it's always tea-time, and we've no time to explain the whys between whiles.
Please enjoy our current origami paper cupcake flavour, "Quarterly Magazine": flavour of the season - spring cherry blossom.https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/226617021/
And I'll write your name.
Baby Mike Wazowski causing havoc during a monstrous visit. I swear it wasn't me. Anyone still remember and LOVE this movie?
This made my day! "Dear Justina, thanks for making your clever design available for free download, My daughter recently got married and made all her flowers and buttonholes from paper, I wanted to complement her hard work with an origami bowtie unfortunately the only designs I could find were a bit dull. Your paper engineered solution however was perfect. I printed spots on the reverse of the net and even had enough on the single sheet to make a matching handkerchief. The attached photo is me and my daughter on our way to her wedding. Thanks again." http://justinaoffiberlab.blogspot.ca/2013/05/how-to-look-sharp-for-summer.html
A delicious studio visit spin-off: This "chocolate" cake is made with only common woodworking materials! Thanks to Kate Duncan for indulging in my weird fascination with wood shavings, something usually discarded, and how basically everything looked "chocolatey" to me. Video here: http://youtu.be/i7-WHh29DQY
My son Bennett, who is 7 years old, has been smitten by all of your videos and projects. He gathered all of the materials by himself to make the heart yarn and followed your directions by pausing the YouTube video every few seconds. I have a picture of his work that I'd love to email to you, just to say thank you for inspiring him and fueling his love of art, handcraft and math! Bennett is in first grade and is homeschooled and spends a lot of his time working on art projects. He is saving his money for one of your origami sculptures. He adores origami too. - Syndi, NC
Please allow me to present the Fiber Lab Symphony Orchestra: 1 perforated hardboard, 2 craft rings, 12 wooden trims, 288 wooden balls, and about 500 m (1500 feet) of nylon string
Also, because I have no real musical talent whatsoever.
I just had this idea, and I am sending it out into the vast world of the internet, expecting no responses. But it goes like this: Tell me why you would like to have one of my paper bowties and I may just send one over to you! All I ask in return is that you send me a photo of it being worn (and permission to use the photo). Be creative! And please keep in mind that this is an effort for effort project. Email me at: justina @ fiberlab.ca (no spaces) And we will see what happens...

To celebrate getting 1000 LIKEs on my Facebook Page, I stacked this origami city with some of my favourite creations over the years (wow, years!). Just like that Italian city, it wasn't built in a day. Thank you all for your support!
Wow! Check out an origami-inspired wedding photo shoot (AND video!) byLa Fiancée du Panda: http://goo.gl/CIlSbT P.S. It features paper bowties and bracelets designed by yours truly.
So, I've been working on a "Low-Tech" Wave Machine. Check out what happens when I move the top disk around...
Here's a special Valentine's Day production for both math and art lovers! Aristotle once said, "There is nothing strange in the circle being the origin of any and every marvel." And naturally, this inspired me to create heart shapes, the synonym of love, with the magic of circles.
HOW TO: Make a geometric mobile - VIDEO HERE!
Here is a behind-the-scenes look at how a Fiber Lab Bubble is made - all hand-crafted, from beginning to end. Featuring a laser-cut scoring guide and a custom jig to help me score the tessellation accurately and efficiently.
