Silhouettes have been a part of my life since childhood, when I watched my mother cutting out Scherenschnitte in the traditional German method, using scissors. These days, I use a very sharp scalpel to create paper-cuts.


If you're looking for a unique personalised gift for a wedding, birthday or anniversary, consider commissioning a silhouette paper-cut, perhaps incorporating names, dates, or a verse of poetry, embedded within a beautiful, meaningful design:
