My mom wants to learn paper cutting, so she bought a book. It has a few projects in it: some place cards for Thanksgiving, a picture frame, a dessert stencil. They are made by layering sheets of paper and cutting away at each a little less than before until each is visible. The individual shapes form vegetables, and flowers, and cars. We decided to make our own pattern for pumpkins... but then I had to go to bed.
Doesn't it remind you a little bit of a family? Of my family, anyway. Each of us has holes, but when we come together, overlapping, fading into one another, different shades of the same world, there's a picture, which we can then hang on the wall.
