A Little Bit Of Abstract Never Hurt

This one always reminds me of the weird foam that comes down the stream from agricultural runoff during the summer (those of you who live in the country know what I'm talking about).

Suffragette City

Inspired by an image from the Library of Congress,

When Dinosaurs Attack!!!

During my crazy Christmas paper-cut-making frenzy, I had a hard time thinking of anything BUT dinos killing people as a theme for my cousin. If his reaction was anything to go by, I think I made the right choice.

Here is one I designed, cut, framed, and used as a Christmas present for my family.

For Valentine's Day I designed a number of paper cut hearts to hang at the bakery. Here are a few of the floral designs I came up with:
