Paper cutouts (wycinanki) –“The Forest” theme.


1.Ravens Party 2.Confetti Flowers

Dear Friends,
Shown are my favorite, one piece compositions, cut out, mostly free hand, with the scissors (acid free, colorfast art paper).Each one is a result of a variety of foldings and cutting. Whimsical and humorous, they make everybody smile and think “green” about the forest. In most cases I mount them on a museum board, over hand made art paper with some subtle organic parts embedded in it (leaves, twigs…).
Framing is archival (double mat), size, framed: 24x30. Two more images are in progress. For more information, contact me, please

Also available (below) is a new edition of “THE FOREST” 5x7 greeting cards (set of 4 - $15). Each one is printed by myself on white, high quality, heavy weight paper with archival black ink, and signed. Greeting cards are packed, together with envelopes, in a crystal clear bag, which flips open to show all images. These cards are great for framing!
Bigger prints of these images are also available.

For my current art shows schedule check, please my previous post.

With best wishes to all of you,

ELŻBIETA

Scissor paper cutouts – traditional Polish folk art designs with the rooster

It was a pleasure to meet some of you in person during my recent art shows. Thank you so much for your interest and purchasing my art.
Recently I got a number of messages inquiring about my traditional Polish folk art designs with the rooster. Responding, I am posting today several original cutouts I have currently for sale. All were cut out free hand with the scissors. I use high quality, acid free and colorfast paper. The art work is mounted on a museum board and framing is done with archival matting. Copyrigth: 2006-2008 Elżbieta Kaleta. High quality reproductions of posted images are also available.
If you have questions or are interested in purchasing my art, e-mail me, please.

Wishing you all the best,
