Every day, the Edinburgh-based artist Charles Young makes a new miniature, growing his city of white paper creations. The delicate, architectural constructions range from a lighthouse to a carousel. There are even two chicken houses standing on chicken legs. Positioned on stones or little cuts of wood, each piece is its own island. View the curiosities at Paperholm and shop the best hits on Etsy.
