Patterns from papercutting patterns

Hi

Anyone done any patterns from the paper cutting patterns. I was looking at one gals site and she has some neat patterns that could be fun to try.

Yup.  They make great patterns for cutting.  The art of papercutting is called scherenschnitte.  Google it for lots of great ideas and patterns.  I've posted about it in my blog a few years back.  You can find my posts here for some scherenschnitte links.

I've used a few of the paper cutting patterns I just had to make some of the bridges a bit wider but they work great......Paul

I was approached a month or two ago by someone who does paper cutting and was requested to make a pattern for her. I can not share the pattern but I will share the picture she sent me of her completed work. So you can see first hand that for the most part the patterns are inter-changeable. (Sorry the picture is sideways)

I've never done scroll work from paper cutting patterns but I'm inpired by the work I've seen and often think about "copying" portions but I'm afraid of copyright infringement and being a crook. Some months ago there was a large exhibit of paper cutting at the American Swedish Institute here in Minneapolis. The artist is a Danish women named Karen Bit Vejle. You can see some of her work here papercutart.no 

It's easy to see how the designs can be converted to scrolling, on the other hand, work is so large how could you do it on a scoll saw unless you did a bunch of panels?
