Sheila Gunby, Paper Artist
ONE-OF-A-KIND ORIGAMIC
POP-UP GREETING CARDS

Paper artist Sheila Gunby has been marketing her origamic architecture paper creations at the Owen Sound Farmers’ Market since 2004. She has a wide selection of pop-up greeting cards on acid-free paper. Along with cards, she has three-dimensional artistic pieces for every age and occasion. The craft combines the detailed cutting methods of scherenschnitte, the careful folding of origami, and the engineering of pop-ups.

Many designs are based on patterns and origami architecture concepts developed in 1981 by Masahiro Chatani in Japan, originally as visual aids for his architectural students. Some of Sheila’s cards are based on designs by Chatani, but most are newly created designs, adaptations and ideas from her customers.
Each piece is a one-of-a-kind with delightful pop-up images hand cut with a sharp knife on vellum card stock, and many cards are backed with colourful Japanese mulberry paper. The captivating cards fold flat for storing and mailing and when they are opened, each card surprisingly expands into a spectacular three-dimensional structure.

“Instead of just being a special card to keep, it’s often used as a gift itself,” Sheila says.
