Papercuts

I long time ago I had fun doing papercuts although I´m not very good with sissors. I also tried to do origami but I guess I just made a couple of the most basic after a lot of work nd trial and error. I was enchanted though, once my parents invited us to the best japanese restaurant in the city and the girls who served the tables, at the end of the meal, made papercuts and origami that they presented to us as a final gift.

Hi Porco, i haven't receive your second mail yet. So far, i haven't learn the arts of papercuts? Is it the same like the arts of paper folding, Origami? I had learned Origami since from the age of eight. Since then, i got interested with it and my mother had bought a few Origami books, where i can learn and sharpen my paper folding arts through it. Hope you are enjoying yourself a lot with this special arts of papercuts.

I have never tried it.....In fact I'll have to go on the internet and look up what it is. I have done origami but I am not good at it! I love paper and doing different things with it but never heard of what you are doing!

Hi P, i love papercuts. it's a therapy for me. now, i am using it as part of my arts and crafts group therapy with the juvenile teens. it's fun and very relaxing. i love oregami too.

Hi Porcospino Long back when I was in standard V, our school had got some people who displayed the art of paper cuts - they rolled out some papers and using scissors make great looking stuff from those rolls. They also sold us a couple of books(a few pages each detailing some of their designs and works). This was my first introduction to the paper cuts. I did try them back at home and as my grandparents appreciated the work, they got me some foils of shining and glossy paper. I used to make stuff of these and we used to decorate the house duing the festivals - especially Diwali (which is also known as festival of lights). Years later, I was introduced to Origamy and I did try that too. Though again, I lacked creativity and was mainly confined to what those booklets had, but it was real fun. This discussion reminds of the good days and I am thankful that it has helped me to re-try and redo those. And as luck, Diwali festival is near too (on 26th of Oct) and so I can have something to decorate my place with a few of these.

Nope I have absolutely no talent in papercuts. But wait papercuts are the things we make from papers by cutting them, are they? I remember trying to make one when I was a kid. Someone(or the tv) taught us how to fold a paper and cut them some ways and when you open the paper, it would be of people like they were holding hands. I failed miserably all the times I tried and gave up. I still don't know how to make them. Hmm might as well look around the net and try.

For yes if you think it is good in you then go for it why make not good in the things.

No, I never made some papercuts myself the whole life before, and probably I am not interest in this kind of stuff, I didn't even spare some time to try to make it myself either. I did origami before which my good friends teach me. I wasn't good at it, and just follow the routine, but now I forgot all the procedure.
