Talk about Paper Cutouts!!!

[meganmecrazy]

Thought I would share THIS WEBSITE (http://www.boveylee.com/) of a girl that lives in my area (in the same neighborhood as my mom) and she does all these paper cutouts by hand with an x-acto knife!

WOW! I would NEVER be able to do that or have the patience for it!

[Traci Reed]

that's nuts!!

[ColleenSwerb]

That is pure insanity. I cutout the title of my latest (well, first too, lol) hybrid layout, and I wanted to die.

I'm guessing rice paper is way easier to cut. Cuz there's no way on EARTH you could get those skinny minnie slivers out of cardstock, lol.

my mouth just dropped to the floor. whoa!

[scrapperjade]

Those are absolutely AMAZING! I wonder how long it takes her to make them and how much she charges??

[wvasweetness]

WOW!! Those are amazing!!

I, too, wonder how much those are... and what you use them for?

[Balinda]

apparently she has the patience of a saint

[jessica31876]

if you look at the limited edition she has one for sale for 500 dollars

[meganmecrazy]

My step-dad was talking to her the other day and it takes her at least a month to make one!

[meganmecrazy]

Oh and they are expensive! LOL!

[jessica31876]

do you know how she does them Megan? I mean does she just cut freehand or print some kind of pattern on them to follow?

[jessica31876]

also isnt rice paper really thin? I would think handling it it would absorb alot of the oils from your skin.

[meganmecrazy]

I think if you click on both the About link and the Studio link on her page it tells you a bit about how she does it. I will have to ask my dad if he asked her any specifics.

[meganmecrazy]

and what you use them for?

Each one she creates is then framed so it's basically just artwork to hang.

[jessica31876]

Oh ok...it explains a little more about how its done. They really are beautiful.

wow!!!!!!!!!!!

[meems]

apparently she has the patience of a saint

and nerves of steel

Very amazing work! I bet though in a weird way it could be relaxing. For a certain type of person.

[rachaelsscraps]

Wow! I could never do that! I'd mess up and ruin hours of work, I tell you!

That's so cool, though!

[crystalbella77]

WOWZA's!!!

[~Julie~]

That is so cool!

[lovely1m]

Wow! Beautiful, but no way I could do it. I was looking for prices and the very basic one was $500. Wow!

[bellbird425]

god, there's no way i'd ever do or buy something like that! ITA nuts

[clearskies]

Wow! Now there's a hobby I do not need to take up... :p

[newfiemountiewife]

I know I don't have patience for that! I think they're lovely though, wow!
