When it comes to paper cut art, all that we think of is the hours of cutting and painful waiting to make that perfect piece of art but for artists like Emma Van Leest, paper cutting is all about devotion.

There's no doubt that there are already a lot of paper cut artists these days but once you go through Emma's work you'll be left awestruck and you'll know why she's different from the rest.

This Melbournite discovered her love for paper cut art accidentally during her art school days and since then has developed her technique by picking up tips and tricks from here and there. By all means Emma is a self-taught artist.

I recently stumbled upon these wonderful paper cut books by Yusuke Oono that have taken the art of story telling to a totally different level.

Yusuke Oono is a Japanese graphic designer and architect who has created a series of books that recount the famous childhood tales like the Jungle Book and Snow White.

These 40-pages books have been made digitally and each page has been laser cut and when opened each book forms a circular fan of pages in such a way that you can see every single page of the book.

As a kid I loved playing with dolls and as far as I can recollect the last time that I played with a doll was like 10 years back. I never had a big doll collection but whatever I had was a prized possession then. And somehow I still love them and would love to buy some but I guess I'm too old to shop in the toy store.

Anyways, I recently came across this one artist, who made me fall in love with dolls all over again and that too with paper dolls. Amy Earles is a talented artist who make it a point that dolls never sink into oblivion.

Amy has been drawing since her childhood and considers it it as the ultimate form of communication. Amy works primarily with gouache and pencil; she paints, draws and makes paper dolls. You'll be amazed to see her sketches, they are not based on any particular theme but are appealing; young girls hidden behind wolf masks playing.
