DreamPapercut

DreamPapercut features handmade papercuts by Ukraine-based artisans Dmytro and Iuliia. The duo creates hand-cut paper silhouettes inspired by nature, life and people who like their work. Paper cuts are made from a single sheet of paper and all of pieces are interconnected. Dmytro & Iuliia said they took interest in this craft about a year ago, then decided to create their online shop in order to share their art with other people.

We did a mini interview via email where I asked them how they got started making hand-cut paper designs. "Our story begins from childhood, when we visited creative classes such as painting, drawing and paper craft. Growing up and studying at university we didn't pay proper attention to creativity, but it always lived in our hearts. Once, we created a greeting card with hand-cut elements for our friend’s birthday. It was the first time we realized how much creativity occupies an important place in our lives. After that, we took interest in paper cutting art and started creating paper cut silhouettes."

While looking at all their pieces available online, it's evident that Dmytro & Iuliia are very talented & creative. The In Love Elephants (above) are amongst my favorites, as is Animal Planet. Of course, there are many images available that aren't animal related, such as Grand Piano and Couple In Love (left).

We summed up our interview with me asking the pair what handmade means to them. "We love creativity & handmade things, because looking at them you can feel the inner world of the person who made them," they said. Follow DreamPapercut on Facebook for updates & additional information.

Super Duper Things

Louise Evans creates Super Duper Things, including jewelry, bags & miscellaneous gift items. Diamond in the Rough is a unique rope necklace featuring a giant sparkling (plastic) "rock." Of course, moustaches never fail to be humorous & the Lush Leather Moustache necklace is no exception. I also like the leather animal silhouettes that are available framed in vintage frames & embroidery hoops. And, if you're feeling a bit woodsy yourself, you may want to sport a pair of antler-shaped leather earrings. Check out Louise's blog for more information and images.

Jessica Rust Designs

Launched in 1993, Jessica Rust Designs develops small-batch specialty ceramic products, ranging from furniture and bath fixtures to dinnerware and decorative objects. While the product line continues to evolve, it always reflects Jessica’s unique design sensibility, a combination of fluid organic form and clean, intuitive function. The custom silhouette plates make a unique & memorable gift item. For those of us who can't identify with mainstream dinnerware designs, Jessica offers several dinner plate selections. I especially love the Love Bug collection perfect for wedding registries and gifts. And for those who are especially funky, you do not want to miss the rockin' tattoo collection.

The Mymble's Daughter

The Mymble's Daughter creates fabulous jewelry that is whimsical & fantastical. Many of the designs are derived from Alice in Wonderful, a favorite peculiar story for many, such as the Cheshire Cat necklace. The Victorian Scissors piece is a unique take on the typical Cameo. I myself would LOVE to have a tea party with an adorable Chimpanzee like this little girl is having. The Mymble's Daughter also has wonderful silhouette and doggy bookplates available.
