The cover is made of a very sturdy paper plate, which should be able to better protect the fragile paper carving pages of the inner pages. The cover has a hollow design to see the Eiffel Tower inside. 8 of the 34 pages on the inner pages are paper sculptures. The color scheme of the whole book is only composed of black, white, light blue and purple, which looks very harmonious.
A paper art book that I bought a long time ago, it seems to be the first work I received that is a paper art/pop-up book (I still remember when I gave myself a birthday present.). At that time, I was very new to the hollow page design, and the pages were also full of romantic imaginations for Paris, France. Surprises can be seen everywhere in the exquisite inner pages~
There is also another copy of Hélène Druvert's work "Garden Jungle". "Paris Up, Up and Away" and "Garden Jungle" are both hollow paper art designs, but this one is a black and white paper art sculpture sandwiched between the real pages, which will produce changes in light and shadow; while the latter is a The continuous hollow design of paper art creates a layered sense of jungle, and the two have different charms!
