Their website, with over-the-top adorable animations and mouth watering food photography, is worth a visit (even if it’s not enough to convince you to part with 30 â‚¬ for a box of tea).]]> http://www.psfk.com/2009/04/paper-cut-art.html Thu, 16 Apr 2009 20:24:00 +0000 Miami-based artist Jen Stark creates wildly beautiful sculptures by cutting and layering concentric cutouts of colored construction paper (try saying that ten times fast).
