buy I love to incorporate patterns of nature into my pieces. This paper cutting is 11" x 14" of Chinese lanterns layered with high-quality papers from Italy and France. The veins make a wonderful design reminiscent of the Art Nouveau Era.
The image was cut out of a single piece of brown paper. The piece is 11" x 14" and is packaged in a protective sleeve. This piece was made by the artist in her Pennsylvania studio. Piece is of a limited edition of 200.
Paper cutting has a long history all over the world. From German Scherenschnitte (using small scissors) and Ashkenazi paper cutting (using a knife) to paper cutting in Africa, China, and South America, many people over the centuries have contributed to this magical folk craft. Artist Margaret Herbener has taken the traditional paper cutting and has added her voice to add modern elements into this long-respected art.
