Little Urban Diorama - First Model Posted
Papermau today celebrates one year of existence. Exactly on June 22, 2011, I did the first of 1930 posts, counting this one. What started as a help in a school project  for my daughter Malú was becoming a fun hobby for me, a place where I can share my own creations and  free paper models of designers from around the world. I made many friends, some others who supported me at first, turned the face to me, ignoring the blog and my models. It does not really affect me, but I'm trying to figure out what I did to displease them. Well, during this year, 1930 posts were made, and every day new free paper designs were posted on the blog. I published 149 exclusive models of my own and more than 2300 free paper models made ​​by designers from around the world. Papermau had a total of  2,194,569  page views, until the time of writing this post, and an average of 269,300 page views monthly, at the time. I think this is a nice number for a blog that began as a search for a school project, and that after one year, thanks to all of you who daily prestige Papermau with visits, comments and suggestions of links (always welcome and appreciated, really!), became a reference for all those who like paper models, papercraft, origami, kirigami, decoupage, and all other names that can give the art of shaping the paper; an art, which for me, first of all, is a great way to relax from the stresses of daily living.

A Great Thank For All Of You!!!

Old Church / Medieval Castle -  The Most Downloaded Model
Papermau comemora hoje 1 ano de existência. Exatamente no dia 22 de junho de 2011, eu fiz o primeiro de 1930 posts, contando com este. O que começou como uma ajuda em um trabalho escolar para minha filha Malú foi tornando-se um divertido passatempo para mim, um lugar onde posso compartilhar minhas próprias criações e paper models gratuítos de designers de todo o mundo. Eu fiz muitos amigos, alguns outros, que me apoiaram no início, viraram a cara para mim, ignorando o blog e meus modelos. Isso realmente não me afeta, mas eu fico tentando descobrir o que eu fiz para desagradar essas pessoas.
Bem, durante o ano foram feitos 1930 posts, e todos os dias foram postados novos modelos de papel no blog. eu publiquei 149 modelos exclusivos, de minha autoria e mais de 2300 modelos de papel gratis feitos por designers de todo o mundo. Papermau teve um total de 2.194.569 visualizações de páginas, até o momento em que escrevo este post e mantém no momento uma média de 269.300 visualizações de páginas mensais. Eu acho que esse é um belo número para um blog que começou como uma pesquisa para um trabalho de escola, e que, depois de um ano, graças a todos vocês, que diariamente prestigiam Papermau, com visitas, comentários e sugestões de links (sempre bem vindas e apreciadas, de verdade!!!), tornou-se uma referência para todos aqueles que gostam de paper models, papercraft, origami, kirigami, decoupage, e todos os outros nomes que se pode dar a arte de moldar o papel; uma arte, que para mim, antes de mais nada, é uma ótima forma de relaxar das tensões da vida cotidiana.

Um Grande Muito Obrigado A Todos Vocês!!!
