Oh So Beautiful Paper

Heeelllloo gorgeousness!  Uzbekistan-born artist (and current Ohio resident) Dinara Mirtalipova sent over some images of a recent papercut project – all created painstakingly by hand – and it’s definitely up there as one of the prettiest things I’ve seen in a long time!

The final framed version:

Even the remnants are pretty!

Dinara hasn’t listed any of her papercuts for sale just yet (please Dinara!), but she has these adorable acrylic paintings available in her etsy shop:

So unbelievably beautiful!  You can see more from Dinara on her blog – she creates some incredibly sweet illustrations!

   I love looking at all the inspirations you post. So beautiful! These papercuts are something else! (And much prettier to look at than the other kind of paper cut.)

   I included a link to your site on my new blog. Hope you don’t mind!
