Working with Scissors


The blogging world leads us in so many directions & to so many interesting places.
This week I came across this lovely little film advertently by way of Art Over Dinner.
I love being able to watch Matisse making his famous paper cut outs with
those enormous scissors. It is such a treasure to actually watch the master at work if only for a few moments. Later through a slightly more circuitous route I came across these wonderful little mini sculptures made from tiny cut outs & toilet paper rolls.




I discovered these following a trail of links from one of my favorite blogs, Kickcan & Conkers. Thanks Deborah for sharing so many other wonderful & interesting sites.
I found these unique tiny pieces of art featured both here & here.
According to the artist, Anastssia Elias, hundreds of websites & blogs from different countries have dedicated posts to her cardboard rolls & have led many thousands of visitors to her site. All of this through the marvelous world of the internet.
