In my book, papercut artists are basically magicians.  Probably because I lack even a fraction of the incredible skill and patience that goes into making these delicate art pieces.  I came across the gorgeous work of Zagreb, Croatia-based artist Tena Letica a few weeks ago, and instantly fell in love with her whimsical creations.  Here are a few of her recent projects!

From Tena: After getting a degree in Industrial Design and working in a graphic design studio I decided to take the rather insecure road of freelancing.  My recent work mostly revolves around papercutting and paper engineering and those long hours spent at the studio usually result in whimsical characters cut out of paper.  Finding my inspiration in vintage cartoons, I try to keep my work simple and sharp with a dose of humor.  I like to keep things handmade as much as possible because those small differences in actual pieces make each piece unique.

Thanks Tena!  Check out more of Tena’s beautiful papercut work right here!
