    has anyone tried paper cutting as an art? like the old fashioned pictures that were cut out of black --i want to try it and am hoping someone has some ideas on where to get the patterns

    Are you talking about Scherenschnitte?

    Try some of these links:

    I haven't seen any books in the craft stores for quite a few years, but you can also use scroll saw patterns.

    yes that is what i am talking about but i want more modern and easy patterns--the one i bought online is of a bird in a branch--but it was 5 dollars and i don't want to pay that much for each one--
    do you do that type of art?

    I used to do it many years ago. I've since sold all my pattern books in a yard sale :(

    Check your library for scroll saw patterns - there may be some that are fairly simple!
