No Mere Picnic Accessory
Beauty comes in many forms. Until I visited this site, though, I'd not expected very much from paper plates. We're not talking about handicrafts, either. As the genius behind Wholemovement.com, Bradford Hansen-Smith, explains, "When we cut the sphere we have pieces, parts, and fragments. It is no longer Whole. When keeping the Wholeness of the sphere and compressing it to a flat plane nothing is lost, all the spatial information is compressed into a flat circle disc." Whoa.
