This month, we’re exploring the art of paper weaving by combining two magazine photos to create a unique, layered image. Think of weaving a family photo with a scenic vacation landscape—or merging portraits of parents and children for a meaningful and visually engaging result. The possibilities are endless and the results are always surprising!
