All of this cutting of paper has me thinking about Elsa Mora, who runs several blogs that will entertain you for hours (watch out!). Her All About Papercutting is a how-to blog filled with patterns, supplies and her own artwork.
Art-is-a-Way
Art is a Way is her blog where she posts beautiful images of her work and the work of others.

And take a peak at her Etsy site, where you can view and purchase more of her work.
Papercutting is a craft that has a long history in many countries, and there are many books on the subject. Do you have a favorite one that you would recommend?

  1. My favorite book of papercut examples is the catalog from the exhibition, “Slash: Paper Under the Knife,” from MAD. You can see some examples of the exhibition and follow a link to order it here: http://collections.madmuseum.org/html/exhibitions/485.html
