STATEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m always asked how I can cut so tiny, and I always reply, “with tiny scissors, of course!” But the true answer is patience, and a giddy love for tiny cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fun challenge, for me, lies in making something with the limited materials on hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also: I just love how fragile vintage stamps are, how precise you need to be\u2014one small slip up and it’s ruined. And I love how, because of all that, it commands my entire attention\u2026It’s just me and a goal to cut as close to the line as I possibly can; always cutting a small bit then reassessing, cutting a little bit more, and reassessing again, on and on until finally the piece is fully cut out and now I have a tiny little guy sitting on the tip of my index finger. It’s magical!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenging, yes, but very satisfying to have it all work out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
