Wycinanki, pronounced “vee-chee-non-kee,” is the Polish word for “paper cut design.” This unique Polish tradition has been a popular form of folk art since the 1900s and has since become a special, rich contribution to the artistic heritage of the world.These ornamental designs are mainly associated with two regions — Kurpie and Lowicz. The Kurpie cutout is typically a symmetrical design, cut from a single piece of colored paper, folded a single time, and features spruce trees and birds as the most popular motifs. The second style from Lowicz is distinguished by the many layers of brightly colored paper used in its composition.This is a book of 14 pieces.
