Psaligrafi literally means to draw or paint with scissors, in other words, the Art of Patience.
Karen Bit Vejle's papercuts are performed from a large, continous piece of paper that is folded one, two and three times and then cut using only a pair of scissors.
Every cut is carefully planned and the slightest mistake would mean disastrous results.

I just gasped with each successive photo! Oh My Goodness, such talent and patience. Thanks for sharing this beauty with us, Veronica. Love it. Rosemary
simply amazing!!!! i can barely cut a straight line never mind giving this a try! ha!!! i don't know how she does it. my volume does not work so i'm not sure how much the video reveals... how long does it take to cut one of her masterpieces?!
This reminds me of the white paper project I have my students do. It's their first project. I grade them on craft, depth and creativity. They have to make an animal out of white paper in relief form. Some of them are amazing! I get better ones every year.
That is amazing! I can barely make a decent snowflake with a piece of paper...lol
