The Paper Artist Collective (PAC) creates beautiful art pieces using only paper. Formed in 2015, they have today 100 members from 27 countries.  The daily operations of PAC is jointly led by Kristine Braanen & Samantha Quinn with the support from their incredible members.

Recently, the group challenged their members to create the whole alphabet, one unique paper letter after another. The 26 artists who joined didn’t know which color or letter they were going to work with before the paper package arrived at their doorsteps. Nevertheless, they loved the challenge and their outputs are just as wonderful.

The project is called #PACAlphabet and is sponsored by Senses Paper. Scroll down to see the beautiful paper letters.

Introducing our latest collaborative project #PACAlphabet. We teamed up with @senses_paper to put their paper to the test to create a dynamic paper alphabet. We sent 26 of our members, from 12 different countries, 3 shades of wonderful @senses_paper and are so excited to share the results. Working backwards we start with 'Z' and this stunning sleeping mermaid by @talamaskanka. We are revealing 2 letters a day for the next 2 weeks, we can't wait to hear what you all think.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #paperartistcollective#paperart#paperartist#paper#papercut#inspo#inspiration#paperartistcollective#papercutting#cutfrompaper #pacalphabet #typography #handtype #designspiration #alphabet #marinaadamova #letterz #z
