OMG! Insane! Beautiful! Intricate! Hand Cramps! Hours and Hours! Steady Hands! Eye Strain! Talented! Gifted! Skilled! Gorgeous! Unbelievable! Fabulous! Amazing! Etc...... I could go on forever and not find the right words to express the feelings I have when I look at these. I mentioned to you about a man named James Bunch who used to do wood carving. I posted about him and his book. If you are interested in seeing a tiny bit of what he did you can check it out at juliassewsweetandspecial.blogspot.com He is now in the nursing home with my mom. I get to talk to him every day!!' I want to put my paper cut portraits on your flicker site but I have to get permission from my daughters first since these are their little ones. I am donating one to a charity auction that is next weekend. I'm anxious to see how that goes. I took one of mine of one of my grands along with the photo that I used for it. They are going to display those with an explanation that I will do one for whoever bids the highest of their child, grand, dog, etc..... I hope I am not annoying to you.
Are you familiar with Hunter Stabler? Best way I can describe his paper cuts are less organic looking like Katrine's work but more like mandelas on Geiger acid.
Paul Overton is a prolific blogger, maker, writer, and ukulele player living in Durham, NC with four dogs, two co-conspirators, and a lawn that makes his octogenarian neighbors want to call the authorities. He delights in the unusual and can often be found in his tiny studio next to the record shop, whipping up some sort of self-indulgent nonsense for his own amusement.

That is incredible! I admire the patience of all paper artists since I get frustrated at cutting out paper dancing dolls!
Jo - I agree. I get tired just thinking about cutting that much paper. Thanks for the comment!

julia - Not annoying at all. No worries. Good luck with your auction and I look forward to seeing your portraits in the Flickr pool.
Thank you for the introduction to this person. And of course I had to browse the past correspondence with her asides. This Net really is a Web!
Karen - You are more than welcome. I love her stuff!

HPD, You had me at "mandelas on Geiger acid". Going to check him out now!
Thanks for the post! You have a nice collection of rad things, artists, work. Truly inspiring stuff!
Katrine - My pleasure. We obviously love your work. Please keep us updated when you have new pieces/shows so I can feature them.
