Rather than creating a work of art from one sheet of paper, artistMargaret Scrinkluses several.
By layering multiple cutouts, she creates miniature worlds that are full of abundance.
Scrinkl also documents every part of her creative process.
Once all of the individual pieces have been made, Scrinkl assembles them together with glue and tape.
The end result, however, is well worth the effort.
Scrinkl’s crisp cartoonish style makes these charming scenes burst with life.
They are so perfectly rendered that it is not immediately apparent that they are made solely from cut paper.
Each one is a small self-contained portal for us to peer into.
Artist Margaret Scrinkl creates miniature worlds with paper.
She cuts different colored sheets of paper and layers them together.
Each piece slowly adds more dimension to the scene.
When it’s done, the paper layers come together to create a full-fledged picture.
Oftentimes, Scrinkl’s work begins by creating a border from a larger piece of paper.
She then fills the opening with different paper characters.
And she adds plenty of floral details along the way.
Her style is so crisp and clean it is hard to tell that it is paper!
