Two-ply or three-ply? This is a no brainer for some (yours truly included), but you might be surprised at how some people do not really care what kind of toilet paper they grab from the supermarket shelves. So yeah, I might be anal when it comes to toilet paper (pun intended), but I don’t think much about that piece of cardboard tubing left behind when the roll is all used up. This, however, will make you think twice before you throw that cardboard tube away. (No, this is not about learning origami while in the bathroom.)
Paris-based artist Anastassia Elias1 has found something worthwhile to do with these cardboard tubes that usually just find themselves discarded without a second thought. With a pair of sharp scissors, a cutter, some imagination, and creative lighting, she came up with some pretty designs.
I think that the designs are very simple – almost childlike, actually. Their beauty lies in their simplicity, though, don’t you think? Some of the figures look as if a talented kid could have sketched them and cut them out, but the way they are put together makes for a different overall effect. Click on an image below to see it more clearly.
As you can see at the bottom row, you can get the designs as prints, t-shirts, and laptop skins. You can purchase these at Society6. They’re a bit on the pricey side, but unless you want to use up all your toilet paper and start cutting, you might want to just shell out the money.
