When I was 18 I went to live in Bogense, Denmark for a year as an exchange student. While there I learned alot about the traditional craft of paper silhouettes (for lack of a better english translation- Danes you could probably help me out here) after visiting Hans Christian Anderson's home where he grew up. I did many while I was there, when the snow kept us inside.

I loved them, some naive and some so intricate they could take hours. I haven't thought of them for a long time and then I came across this article, about an artist, in an online craft magazine.

Well, my cap is off to him- truly beautifully works of art! and another example of making something so fantastic out of something so ordinary.

Enjoy- Mel
