Our member Jerise was out on Long Island On December 1, giving a lecture on the history of cut paper designs at the Long Island Chapter of the Embroiderers Guild of America. Afterwards, she led a workshop so that the members could try out the technique for themselves.
Darcy started cutting paper with both scissors and an art knife many years ago. Then she moved to Taiwan where she taught English, learned Chinese and was exposed to many fine examples of the Chinese art of paper cutting.
After moving back to the United States in 1989, she settled in Illinois working as a librarian. While there, about four years ago, Darcy started to play with polymer clay and opened her Etsy Shop. About a year ago she also started to do off loom beading.
An Freethinkers Treasury is a showcase of handmade items from the Freethinkers group on ETSY, a site that allows artists and craftsmen of the world a place to offer their creations for sale.
