Many art experts state that paper cutting is the derrivative of old metal cutting which used to adorn w ood en ch ests or suits of armor, or old leather or skin cuttings which decorated coats or jackets. Paper cuttings may be made in g e o metric forms or sh a p es, animal sh a p es or people sh a p es and is in a way rem iniscent of embroidery, w ood carvings or d esign s on Ukrainian ceramics. The technique is relatively simple. Paper may be folded tw ice or many times and the design is cut with a free hand, without any drawing. The result is a re petition of the designm much like a kale id o sco p e effect. Paper cuttings have a thousand and on e u ses — wall decorations, furniture decorations, ornamentation for books, Christmas tree decorations. Similar pat terns may be made from felt or adhesive backed fabric which when cut out may be ironed on to clothing. This art form is now very prevelant in Eastern Ukraine, esp ecially in eastern Podillia. The credit for its popularity g o e s to an elderly woman- who works in the kolhosp, Natalia Kushnir, who not only creates beautiful paper cuttings, but e lo quently explains their sym bolism and meaning.
