Folk art motifs seem to be so popular these days. These colorful and elaborate Polish paper cut designs caught my eye (link from print & pattern). I don't know much about paper cutting, but it does seem to be a common folk art tradition in many cultures.
Can you believe that these designs were hand cut with sheep shears? I've seen sheep shear scissors and they don't exactly look like they could cut paper easily. I wonder if these artisans suffer from major hand cramps. Anyway I won't dwell on that....All I can say is that Tord Boontje sure took the easy way with laser cutting!
