Came across the works of Yulia Brodskaya and I feel that this could be an idea for a really cool and sweet Christmas Gift for the hands on person.
There are equipment sold out there to help you make these perfect curls, and paper is cheap. Personally, when I have the time, I will be trying it out too. Have an image in my mine that it will look really elegant and sweet in a shadow box frames you can buy from IKEA.
