In the Winter 2018 issue of Cloth Paper Scissors, Mirjam Keune shares her magical papercuts. With her simple folding technique, you’ll get a perfectly symmetrical design. No matter what your cutting or drawing skill level is, you’ll be pleased with the results. These papercut designs are a perfect personalized gift for the holidays.
“I am a fervent letter writer. I often decorate the envelopes, which is how these papercuts came to be,” Mirjam says. “Having a soft spot for the beauty of butterflies and moths and a love of painting and drawing, I combine these elements in my designs.”
Symmetry is the key in these colorful designs.
“What makes these watercolor papercuts quite magical is that, with a simple folding technique, you end up with a perfectly symmetrical design. Your cutting or drawing skill level doesn’t matter. The repetition of the design gives a uniform feel to the overall piece.”
