Hello all,
I promised to post a view of the 2 paper cuttings I got for my Mom and a brother. I know on occasion both have looked at this blog, but it is so rare, that I doubt they will see them before they unwrap their gifts this weekend. (We are having an early holiday since a few of the family are in the medical profession).
Paper cutting goes back to the ancient Chinese days. The Pennsylvania Dutch still give paper cuttings as a traditional gift for several events (births and marriages). Look at the details! It is wicked tiny! And done by razor blade. I would not want the sneezes while carving these out.
Hope this finds you all merry and bright!

Very impressive! papercutting s also a tradition in north-east of France and in some parts of Germany.
ReplyDeleteAwesome Scherenschnitte! I bet the person who did that tree had some massive hand cramps!
