light mark on paper
Tell me what is so earthy about handmade paper! May be I am only person in the world who has covered few old books in handmade paper! My fascination with handmade paper has taken me to Finland’s paper artist Sirpa Kivilompolo. She has done very interesting experiments of capturing light on paper with watermark pattern technique.
On white handmade paper play of light and shadow creates an elegant and eye-catching illusion. Each of her cards series tells a story. Here are her kuulto– watermark paper cards sold under the name Paperivalo.
wheel of fortune series dancing sea
singing sun & summer waltz heaven’s gate
memorable day & blessedness joy of life & sound of silence
How these cards are made you can see here but explanation is in Finnish.
edit:grafikerlik has sent me these great info links about watermark techniques:

the garden of my childhood
The numerous nuances of pink distinguish this garden from any other.
The apple tree, roses, petunias fragrant peas, pink and grey colors fight for space and crave to be picked up.
The theme is ‘The garden of my childhood ‘and Russian landscape designer Sergey Malyuchenko portrays it so beautifully.
Garden in the childhood is bright and as man grows old his garden loses colors.
Behind the fresh pink’s soft cries of pick me up there is a hidden meaning of grey as neglected garden but pink is the transitional colors on the way to renovation.

paper battery
Take a piece of paper, take carbon nano tubes and some electrolyte solution. Lo! And behold energy is produced!
Paper battery is made from plant cellulose which is used in making paper. So it is environment friendly. It has carbon nano tubes. And it produces energy.
It is a paper thin, can be bent battery prototype. It is small, light-weight and has endless design as well as application possibilities. The prototype has been made using inexpensive materials.
Each gram of paper produces about 10 milliamps of current at 2 volts, which can power a fan and LED light.
It is not only a battery but a capacitor too.
It looks, feels and weighs like a paper. It can be twisted, trimmed with scissors. Like paper you can stack one sheet on top of another to increase the power output. Researchers have experimented with 10 sheets. It can be given any shape even of a car door.
Potential uses of this battery would be in medical equipments like pacemakers and insulin pumps; in combination with solar cells. It is also going to change how we charge our cell phones, digital camera and laptops. It would be useful in aircrafts, boats and automobiles where power source gets bulky.
A team of scientists headed by chemist Robert Linhardt, materials scientist Pulickel Ajayan, and engineer Omkaram Nalamasu of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York has developed this wonder nano battery.
Interestingly scientists believe that they would be able to mass produce it like newspaper on rolls of paper.
