Using only an X-Acto knife, a single sheet of paper, and the inspiration that surrounds her at her Olympia, Washington, home, Nikki McClure lovingly creates her intricate and beautiful paper cuts.

These are one-of-a-kind, original papercuts. You can see the extra depth and tiny shadows on this hand-cut piece, in a way that makes it feel like it is floating and alive. Each piece is professionally framed in museum-grade wood frame and backing.

This piece is from her book What Will These Hands Make?
