To help celebrate the 20th anniversary of Post-it® Notes, fashion designer Ilze Vitolina created an impressive line of avant-garde evening wear fashioned from Post-it® Notes. To create the clothing, the notes were placed on a durable plastic, and plastic strips were used as fasteners. Each dress was named for the color palette of the notes from which it was made. Pictured here are the Neon and Ultra dresses. In all, Vitolina created eleven dresses - including a wedding dress - as well as several hats and a bridal bouquet. The dresses were modeled at a 2000 fashion show sponsored by 3M Latvia.

Put 60,000 Post-it® Notes together and what do you get? Art, of course! Alaskan artist Melynda Schwier-Gierard uses intricately folded Post-it® Notes to create wall-sized works of art. Using 30 different types of folds, she folds each 1-1/2 by 2-inch note an average of four times before placing it onto one of her panels.

When 3M Greece invited six artists, including four painters, a sculptor and a painter/engraver, to experiment with creating art from Post-it® Notes, the artists rose to the challenge with fantastic results. Art Fry's invention inspires art-lovers everywhere. They helped the everyday communications tool transcend its utilitarian role to become a thing of beauty.

After receiving a prestigious residency at the American Academy in Rome, Vanalyne Green, an artist from Chicago, found her muse amid the famous cats of Rome. Her 28 x 28 foot portrait of a cat named Juno attracted plenty of attention at the Academy's annual art show for 2002 — even stopping traffic as people got out of their cars to take a better look at the giant feline.
