Paper Art

[Eleana]

Anyone into paper art? I just bought a book to create cute cartoon characters using papers. It's very interesting, but there is still alot to be grasped. Is there any technique? Or anyone wanting to share your experiences?

I don't think I understand what you mean... what kind of papers does it use? It sounds interesting, but I am not sure what you mean.

it's something like origami, only thing is it involves paper cutting and techniques. More like art and crafts. I tried to look for pictures from net but to no avail. maybe i will do one and scan it here.

Is it like a collage? Or a way to embellish something? You got me curious... know any web page that talks about it?

I THINK I know what you mean. My niece has a beautiful piece of art hanging on her wall that was sent to her by a relative. It's a scene from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. It's paper art...made by pasting layers of paper together to create depth and shadows. It's beautiful and very intricate. Is that what you're talking about?

Love, Heather
