Cally’s cuts

This pic is here to provide the bones on which to hang the rest of this post. Appropriately, it’s called “Leaf Skeleton”. I cut it from matte black adhesive vinyl and linen-effect green paper.

But on to the real business of today’s post – paper cuts! I’ve been planning a marvellous and impressive post about them for ages, saving my links in a folder, but never quite getting around to putting it together.

So, while looking through the Cally Creates blog last week, I must admit to being most relieved to find that the indomitable Cally has beaten me to it. Now I can just link through to her impressive papercutting for your pleasure post on her blog.
Here’s one of the amazing things she’s found, by Artist April.

There are more astonishing finds in her post than most us can handle, but in case your weekend’s a rainy one, here are a couple of extras to add to Cally’s fine roundup of links to papercut wonderment.
Yu Rong’s lifesize cutouts (via Sprayglue)

Matthew Sporzynski’s paper constructions for Real Simple magazine (via Happy Mundane)

And, via Cally herself, the extraordinary work of Kako Ueda.

Have a great weekend!
