Making some new space themed papercuts for a market soon 🌙

Really loving the color-coordinating mount! (And planning to paint the frames too)

Ok this is fully delightful - Hans Christian Anderson loved to entertain people while telling his stories by simultaneously hand-cutting decorative paper art

persephonebooks.co.uk/blogs/the-pe...

a square piece of pale cream paper on a green background which has been charmingly hand-cut out to show dancing people, feathers, small mushrooms and smiling faces. Sadly some of the dancing men have 'chinese' hats on, which the artist must not have realized was racist. The style is turn of the 19-20th century.

Thank you! I got into paper cutting about a year before covid, so there was a lot of room for improvement 😂
