Shear Beauty

If I was living in Minneapolis, I would head over to the "American Swedish Institute" tomorrow to see this beautiful art and learn more about it.  I've always been captivated by papercutting since I was a little girl and first saw it in Copenhagen at Illums Bolighus.  There's something so magical about it, and you gotta love that word "psaligraphy"!  Here is more information about Karen "Bit" Vejle and the rich art of paper cutting, Karen "Bit" Vejle at American Swedish Institute and another beautiful, ethereal photograph from the installation.
