Scherenschnitte
Have you heard of scherenschnitte? It is the art of paper cutting that originated in Germany & Switzerland in the 1500's. This Summer, I was able to meet artist Marie-Helene Grabman and see her scherenschnitte work up close. Each framed piece of paper cutting is a "moment" relayed in tiny paper cuts - it was breathtaking. You can see at another artist's scherenschnitte here.
I chose this photograph because the trees look just like scherenschnitte.
Life imitating art.

That would be a perfect motivation for a scherenschnitte. You're right.
Ohh,I'm glad you agree! Not many know about scherenschnitte, so I hope to inspire.
