I found some paper cutting scissors at Michael's today with the long throat design I was looking for, and I couldn't wait to try them out. I don't have any black paper so I used white. Done without a pattern in a freeform way. No two are ever alike. Sorry the finer details got wiped out by the flash. It's the best photo I could get with the tools that I had.

Margieanneart does this as well. I am amazed that she can do it without a pattern. Here is a link to her discussion that will bring you to a demo. http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/155407.aspx It is amazing how anyone can do this craft with our without a pattern. I am one that tends to shy away from such projects.

Very interesting. I think I have read about this art form but have never tried it. I like it in white.
