I've been so interested in papercuts lately. Thought I'd research a little and spread the inspiration.
It's been happening at the home of Kylie from 3 Sheets -
And Karen O'Leary does these amazing hand cut maps from large blank sheets of paper.
Craig Ward incorporates type into his papercuts -
Julene Harrison does amazing things too -
And of course, the pretty amazing Skinny La Minx makes all sorts of things from her papercuts -
Now off to finish the folding (again) so I can find some time with the scalpel...
i love those- the courtyard hounds cd cover art is beautiful- have u seen it?
ReplyDeleteWow! Quite amazing. I'm guessing a very sharp scapel, steady and and lots of patience is required.
ReplyDeleteBut quite satisfying if they turn out as beautifully.
Very skillful.

so fun to know your blog and art now -- thanks for sharing! check out our good friend Jaya's work. she is a fiber artist who began experimenting with cut paper in grad school a few years ago. it's now her preferred medium, i think. http://jayamiller.com/
