Scissors Cutting - scherenschnitte

The detail in this 'scissors cutting' work is amazingly beautiful.


"Scherenschnitte Design by Arlene France, Lititz, PA. The art of "Scherenschnitte", or scissors cutting, is an old German-Swiss art done originally by the religious orders and brought to the U.S. by the Pennsylvania-Dutch immigrants in the 1700's."

I just realized I should submit this to
