Jolis Paons is an amazing artist, as evident by the many talents displayed in her flickr profile. One of the projects that caught my attention is an artistic dress that she handmade purely out of phonebook paper.

Paons says of the Paper Dress she designed and created for her Creative Processes class, “I pleated, stuck, sewed, and glued everything by hand.”

It’s amazing what you can do with simple resources when creativity is involved. Think of all the phonebooks that go to waste!

I included three self portraits of Jolis Paons, who happens to be an awesome photographer.
