Paper Cuts of Farm Animals

        Below, I have restored a few paper farm animals: horse, cow, goat, duck, rooster, sheep, dog, bunny, pig and cat. These may be freely used by students and teachers for the classroom. Silhouettes on my blog are not to be redistributed by alternative websites and are not meant to be sold or purchased.

These paper cuts of animals found on the farm would make great design
elements in a classroom or any other art project a young
student might need them for.

Fairy Friends Paper Cuts

    These fairies have butterfly wings and companions who play with them inside of a garden. Paper cuts also include flowers, grasses, birds and animal friends.



Paper cut of a very fuzzy cat

   This black silhouette of a fuzzy cat would make a sweet paper cut for those of you practicing your cutting technique. He even has a furry chin.

Here is an additional stencil of a furry cat as well...

Paper Patterns by Paul Konewka

      Paul Konewka was an artist remarkable for his skill and expression in silhouette designs. He was a Pole by birth and studied both sculpture and painting. His chief works are the illustrations of "Faust," and of the "Midsummer's Night Dream." I will eventually include these collections under his name. He died at the young age of 31 in Berlin, 1871.

"If Pets, Why Not Useful Ones?"


By Percy Shaw.

I wonder how 'twould be if cows
And hens and ducks were household pets,
And banished far were growls and meows,
As witness in these silhouettes!

Mere man would look aghast no doubt
And voice a thousand vain regrets;
But though these ladies ne'er come out,
They look well in these silhouettes.

Papercutting by Walter Crane

      Walter Crane (1845–1915) was an English artist and book illustrator. He is considered to be the most prolific and influential children’s book creator of his generation and, along with Randolph Caldecott and Kate Greenaway, one of the strongest contributors to the child's nursery motif that the genre of English children's illustrated literature would exhibit in its developmental stages in the latter 19th century. His work featured some of the more colorful and detailed beginnings of the child-in-the-garden motifs that would characterize many nursery rhymes and children's stories for decades to come. He was part of the Arts and Crafts movement and produced an array of paintings, illustrations, children's books, ceramic tiles and other decorative arts. Below I will include some of his silhouettes.
