Making Putz Houses for My Studio Window

So, back home in the historic little waterfront town of La Conner, and I've spent the last two days making small paper houses covered with old book pages and glitter, with black paper silhouettes to decorate the front window of my studio space.  Not collage, but lots of scissor work; I feel like Martha Stewart...!

Here are my little creations laid out on my kitchen counter prior to installation:

  1. I love your paper work very much, Lynn, and I am again deeply impressed by your cutting skills! How can you cut such tiny little things to of paper? Without an exacto knife? You really have magic fingers!
    Lotte Reiniger came in my mind (fun thing: she is German but I only know her because some Amercian friends told me about her) - but I do not know Martha Stewart.
