hina aoyama... February 25, 2011
Can you believe these paper cuts were made using scissors? Japanese born artist, Hina Aoyama came to mind this week, as I was busy working on something that required loads of patience and steady hands! She works with small scissors and meticulously cuts out all her designs by hand. Some of my favourites are shown above – aren’t they just incredible? This year, I’m looking forward to introducing her creations to the Upon A Fold shop. So if you’re a fan like me, keep an eye open for them. They will no doubt be amazing!

Stunning! SO beautiful and delicate. They’ve got a smoky sort of quality about them – like they’re about to float away.

Wow! I can’t believe these delicate designs were cut by hand! She has lots of patience indeed and I’m pretty sure she has a love for paper as well. It would be so interesting to see her process on video :) Amazing!
