Traditional Chinese Paper Art

Posted by: Wei on: March 28, 2007

Amazing work of art… can you imagine cutting that delicate paper with such precision? Well, I can only wonder… Apparently my parents have collected many of these paper art since I was a kid. I borrowed a couple, some are still in mint condition. I don’t know whether or not they have copyright protection on these artworks today. They’ve been making these since ancient times, wow!

Here’s a rendition I made from one of my parents’ collections.
