famille summerbelle paper cut nyc maps

6a00e54ffb7b7788340120a5a7994d970b-800wi
i can’t think of a better way to start today than with these incredible new paper-cut maps of nyc by julie of famille summerbelle. i know i will be saving up for one for my home- not only is it fun to see all the little city details like people playing and working in the streets, but it’s an incredibly gorgeous piece just to sit back and see from a distance. julie always does beautiful work and her latest piece is no exception. the map goes on sale next monday, october 5th, but until then you can read more info here and purchase other city maps (paris and london) right here at the famille summerbelle shop. thanks julie and anne!

Ooh lovely — i like that it’s a dark sapphire instead of black paper, so the contrast is gentle. Amazing work.

Truly one of those pieces worth the $.

I don’t see ever getting bored of looking at it. Every inch is an exploration!

These are beautiful. The art of papercutting, (scherenschnitte in German) is also very popular in Switzerland (Gstaad, for example). The workmanship is incredible. These are really special and unique works of art. This summer I saw fashion-related ones. So cool!

Thanks for sharing the work of that artist. I hadn’t seen their art before. It reminds me of Beatrice Caron. Very nice. jan
