Pam Hults Framed Scherenschnitte Hand Painted Scissor Cutting Love Birds Flowers
Description: A very nice, large size, framed scherenschnitte or scissor cutting art. The piece depicts a two birds facing each other with flowers all around. The image is frames within a paper frame with the artist's signature in the center of the bottom. The birds are yellowish brown with red highlights in the wings and details in black coloring of the eyes and the feathers. The flowers are also yellowish brown with red centers and are supported by stems having green colored leaves. The cutting is mounted on black paper and framed in a brown colored wood frame having a black colored edge. The brown frame has small black spots throughout. The frame has a brown paper backing and a small metal bracket in the center of the top to hang from. There is also a hole in the bottom of the back, where a round peg can be inserted so as to set the piece on a table top. Unfortunately, we do not have the peg. The entire piece is reminiscent of Pennsylvania German Scherenschnitte art and has been antiqued to give the impression that it is old. It is well done and the art work is top notch.
