Introducing: Cut Paper Paste

I have a friend who can do...everything. And not only can she do it all, but she does it all with grace and charm. In fact, she's so darn charming that she will read through this post and never once think that the friend I speak of is her. She is that delightful.

One of the things that this graceful, charming, delightful friend can do is cut a piece of paper like you've never seen. Sounds cool, right? It is. She illustrated an entire story (a story that, mind you, she wrote herself) with the art of paper - cutting each piece with exactness then pasting it together to create little people as charming and delightful as she is. 

The other day I ran across Cut Paper Paste, a magical place inhabited by paper characters and their adventures. Dawn Cardona has been collecting paper for seven years and thoughtfully uses each piece to create lives for her parchment people. There's an inquisitive imp, a bohemian brainiac, an astute adolescent, and total chick magnet. I am enchanted. Are you?
