    I couldn't pass this one up. The images are actually cut out and applied to a background. The artist, K. Kerchner "Kerch" McConlogue, won the Harris Award from the "Guild of American Papercutters" in 2000. She spent her childhood in Berks County, Pennsylvania and enjoyed cutting paper and the art forms of the 18th century Pennsylvania Germans. She uses the Fraktur painting style on her original cuttings. Fraktur is a painting style used on illuminated documents and other drawings since the 18th century.
    I previously posted and antique "scherenschnitte" but this a current version of "scissor cut" art.
    From the internet:
    Scherenschnitte, which means "scissor cuts" in German, is the art of paper cutting design. The artwork often has rotational symmetry within the design, and common forms include silhouettes, valentines, and love letters. The art tradition was founded in Switzerland and Germany in the 16th century and was brought to Colonial America in the 18th century by Swiss and German immigrants who settled primarily in Pennsylvania.

    This is the verse from the Bible that surrounds the image:
    Isaiah 11:6
    “The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together; and a little child shall lead them.” – Isaiah 11:6

    When we focus on this beautiful imagery, we are encouraged to seek peace in our own lives and among those around us.
