Chinese Paper Cut

...and not the wound that happens on your hands from paper made in China but the handicraft art form. This past weekend I visited the historical museum, for the second time ( it was free and I realized I missed the entire second floor) and was again drawn to the Chinese paper cut exhibit. This ancient art from uses cutting tools to cut thin paper into a decorative design. They are especially popular to decorate ones windows and entrance ways during festivals. Several women were demonstrating this technique. They sure do have lots of patience to sit there and carefully make thousands small incisions. At least they had about 20 stapled tother and were not doing them one at a time.
