This is a handmade original artwork that is sealed behind plastic (can be removed) by the artist to protect it. This may cause a reflection in the picture. Made from high quality black paper, ready to frame. Measures about 11x14 inches. The quality of this cut paper is excellent and suitable for framing and home decor.

This picture of a dragon in a circle inticately intwined reminds us of Chinese New Year and looks like it would be perfect framed for a baby nursery, a meditation room, a child's room or any adult collection.

 Without sketching, in the wink of an eye, Hou-Tien Cheng takes ordinary paper and cuts it into images that spark the imagination. Cheng is  the 1976 U.S. Master of Paper Cutting.  Each of these paper cuttings were hand made by the artist with sharp scissors.  (This is not computer designed laser cuts.)

Hou-tien is a renowed Chinese paper cutting artist and author.  He is known for his ability to create intricate designs freehand without sketching. Our paper cuttings were purchased from Cheng Hou-tien at an exhibition at Wheaton Arts in New Jersey sometime in the last 20 years.
