Christmas Scherenschnitte

I've been having fun making some holiday paper cuts using japanese linen paper. I just love that stuff :)

So far I've got the three wise men, some holly and candles...

Angels singing and of course Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus.

I haven't done any paper cutting in over a year and have somehow misplaced my nice little craft knife so I had to use a honking huge exacto knife but I'm very happy with how they turned out :)

The next step is to turn them into window transparencies using velum and kite paper to paint color into the open spaces. That way when the sun shines through them they are going to look amazing. I can't wait!
