Happy weekend papercut
I’ve had a busy, productive and satisfying day today, it’s Friday night and I’m just about to head off to bed, and I have some nice things planned for the weekend. Ahhhh! Life is good!
I created a simple little papercut this week and it’s winging its way to each of you to wish you a happy weekend. However busy or quiet your weekend is, I hope you find some carefree moments of bird joyfulness along the way! : )
I love paper art and here are some of my favourite master paper cutters:
Rob Ryan
Jayme McGowan / Roadside Projects
Elsa Mora
If you have a favourite paper artist or do paper cutting yourself, do post a link in the comments.
Have a great weekend!

that is so lovely luce! sorry i have been a bit incommunicado this week – I feel as if i have gone bush! we must catch up this weekend, if you have time. love you xxx
Nice birdy Lucy. It is so funny how closely aligned our creative interests are – just last week I ordered a lovely book of Hans Christian Andersen’s cut paper artworks. I didn’t realise he had another talent in addition to writing children’s stories. The book arrived in the mail yesterday, so I’ll try to find time over the weekend to post some pictures from it on the blog. I think you’ll like them.
Enjoy your weekend.

Hi Bronwyn, that’s so cool about the Hans Christian Andersen book! I didn’t know he did papercuts either. I’d love to see some of them. Do post a link in the comments if you do put them on your blog. I got some great books out of the library a while back on scherenschnitte (the German art of papercutting). Have you seen the great stuff that comes up if you do a Google image search for scherenschnitte? Hope you’re having a great weekend. Lucy x
Hi again Lucy,
Thanks for the google tip for scherenschitte. I’ll check it out.
Here’s the link to the post with some of Hans Christian Andersen’s pretty papercut pieces:
