# Party-Promoting Papercrafts 'Folia De Papel' is a Paper-Friendly Way to Party By Michael Hines | Published 2010-03-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folia-de-papel References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Carnival-Paper--paper-sculptures/448470) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/CarlosMeira) 'Folia de Papel' is not what I think when I think of carnival. The picture I get in my mind is of drunken revelry and random dancing in crowded and sweaty streets, not of beautiful works of art made entirely of paper. 'Folia de Papel' is an [exhibit in Rio de Janero](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightness-tension) celebrating carnival. These pieces are gorgeous and that isn't a word I just throw around left and right, people.
