schweiz scherenschnitte

I think this hand-cut paper art is truly beautiful and a real test of patience.  Sure, we have access to some beautiful laser cut designs but the time that has gone into some of these hand-cut designs certainly gives you a greater appreciation of this traditional art form.


I am very much looking forward to trying this myself (though more simple to begin with!)...

This image below would make a very beautiful scherenschnitte...
