Paper Cutting Old & New by Suzanne Mcneill
Rediscover old world papercrafting! Scherenschnitte, which literally means "scissors cutting," is a lovely old Swiss-German folk art tradition. Pronounced share-en-schnit-ta, this venerable technique was introduced to colonial America by the "Pennsylvania Dutch," who applied it in intricate and symmetrical designs on marriage and birth certificates, silhouettes, valentines and love letters. Now Paper Cutting Old & New makes this ancient craft come alive, with easy step-by-step instructions and complete full-sized patterns for snipping your own framed treasures, holiday ornaments, unique cards, scrapbook pages and much more. Add a touch of old-fashioned elegance to your art, with easy-to-follow instructions for false-grain painting that will transform even the plainest frame.
Carole Behrer has been creating Scherenschnitte for over 19 years, and Theorem painting for 17. Carole was selected as one of Early American Life's 200 Best Craftsmen. Suzanne McNeill is often known as a Trendsetter for arts and crafts. Suzanne is the woman behind Design Originals, a publishing company dedicated to all things fun and creative.
