~ A Snippet of a Different Kind ~

Good Morning Friends & Folk!

and a happy hot September 4th to you all ~

as I have posted on IG & FB...

I am getting back into my Scherenschnitte or papercuttings.

I made and sold many and am humbled 

~ that they now reside in private collections throughout the world.

 my favorite subject is of course Autumn, Witches & Christmas,

but I have been known to snip a few rabbit folk as well for Easter!

Primarily I use these large Chinese scissors to work,

but for small detail I use a very sharp, antique pen knife and Xacto knife as well...

most of my works are freehand, but I do also pencil in lines to follow before I cut away...

 

I never know how it will look

until the finish and I hold it up to the light!

 

I use 67lb black cardstock

and my own hand-parched, stained and scorched papers...

a technique that my dear aunts taught me when I was younger ~

this sweet little sweeping witch was cut from my own paper 

and is mounted on the black cardstock ~ just the opposite of the one shown above:

 I'll be offering a few finished & framed cuttings at our 

Gathering of Primitive Friends Show 

here at the Farm on Saturday September 21st

I also would like to offer some templates for those who might want to try it themselves, 

and perhaps some notecards or prints of my originals ~

♥
