Scherenschnitte: Cindy Ferguson
A little while ago, I visited my grandparent's farm in Germany. While in their sitting room, I saw the most intricate little papercut and thought I would love to try that. So I did. I love creating silhouettes out of paper! Commissions welcome!

Linda Fury Hi Cindy. I am from Australia and started cutting when I read about it in a book, "Memory Keepers Daughter", a few months ago. Thank you for offering such great templates. When will you start your Christmas ones???

Hmm...I have seen that book and have been curious to read it. I'll have to check it out. Thanks!

I think I'll start doing Christmas ones once Thanksgiving ends (4th Thursday in November).

I keep forgetting to talk about this, but I'm very excited to teach a class on Friday! I'm going to be one of the teachers at The ART Weekend ( http://nicolesclasses.blogspot.com/2009/09/art-weekend-salt-lake-city-utah-nov-5-7.html ).
If you live in the Salt Lake area (or even if you don't) come and join
us for a weekend... of the arts. This little scene from the Frog Prince is
what I will be teaching people how to make (quite timely if I do say so
myself):

Lisa Snider I didn't know people knew what scherenschnitte was any more. I have 3 pieces from 1854 made by my great grandmother that I thought were worthless except for sentimental value, since then I have found out differently. I also have this weird little tool I was told was used to make them but now I am told no. Will be glad to share photos if you are interested.

Those are so intricate! I love the details. I like how they colored them. I wonder how/what they used that tool for!

bob made a comment to me and I looked I believe they were folded like a snow flake and then cut-either by scissors or that thing/tool

Cindy Blackburn Wilkerson Hi Cindy how much are your templates? I have been looking for a template of the Manti Temple I have been wanting to do a papercutting of this for a long time. I would like to give this to my mom for a christmas present I think it would just be beautiful. Would you let me know. Thanks.

Cindy, currently I don't sell any templates. I'm up to my ears in work for a show I'm doing and probably wouldn't be able to get to it that soon, but I'd love to do one for you in the future!

I have been doing Scherenschnitte for quite a while and I absoluely love it. I have been doing this since 1995 and it's one of my favorite things to do. I live in Ut and was just surfing the web when I came across your blog and I was so excited about it. Where do you get all of your Template's? I get my patterns fr...om www.papercuttingsbyalison.com they have some really nice patterns. You probably already know about it. Just so glad that I found someone that loves Scherenschnitte as much as me and to make it even better I see your from Utah too. Have a great day!Read More

Where do you live in Utah? These are all my own templates that I make with my own two little hands. Have you tried making any of your own custom designs yet?

I live here in Provo. I just buy patterns and cut them out. I havent tried making any custom designs yet but I would love to learn. Not sure how to go about that but I have a lot of designs in my head that I want to draw out. Just not sure how to do it. But it does look easy any suggestions or ideas that could help.

"Here's what the template will look like. Remember, fold your paper and put the dotted line on the fold. Then cut out the inside bits first and then the outer lines. Careful not to cut the hinging parts on the dotted line."
