Find: Beautiful Papercut Luminaries

by

Hannah Nunn, a talented paper artist, has been making waves in the art world with her stunning creations. Recently, she was featured on Dearest Nature for her latest masterpiece – papercut luminaries. These beautiful luminaries are made entirely out of paper and are intricately cut to create unique and delicate designs. The light from the candle inside shines through the paper, creating a beautiful and ethereal effect.

Nunn’s work is known for its organic and natural themes, often featuring intricate botanical designs that evoke the beauty of the natural world. Her papercut luminaries are no exception, with designs that feature delicate leaves, flowers, and other organic forms.

What’s especially impressive about Nunn’s work is the level of detail she achieves with paper, a material that can be quite challenging to work with. Each luminary is hand-cut with precision and care, resulting in a work of art that is both beautiful and intricate.

Mini Pumpkins and Jack o’Lanterns to Cross Stitch

I just can’t resist sharing a few more Halloween cross stitch patterns when they are as cute and quick to stitch as these!

This boo cross stitch from Luzatolye was the first little Halloween cross stitch pattern to catch my eye. I love the pumpkin Os! At just 23 by 8 stitches and using four colors, you can stitch it up in no time. On 14 count fabric it measures 1.6 by.5 inches, or about 4 by 1.27 cm. 

Another cutie from the same designer is this jack o’lantern with a witch hat. Another four-color project, this one is 14 by 18 stitches, which is an inch by just a little more than an inch, or around 3 cm square, worked on 14 count fabric. 

If you like your minis a little bit bigger, this jack o’lantern with leaves is from White Protea Art and measures 47 by 28 stitches. That comes out to 3.4 by 2 inches, or 8.5 by 5.1 cm, when stitches on 14 count fabric. It uses nine colors. 

Or there’s also this little cutie from that same designer. I love the little leaf on top of the pumpkin. At 33 by 36 stitches, it comes out to 2.4 by 2.6 inches, or 6 by 6.5 cm, when stitched on 14 count fabric. I think it uses around eight colors. 

Template Love Create also has two mini jack o’lantern cross stitch patterns that I like (I swear I didn’t plan to do two from each of the same designers, it’s just the whimsy of an Etsy search!). There’s one that is more round and one that’s oblong, which I like because it’s different from most of the pumpkin patterns you see. The pattern listings say both are six colors (though they look like four to me) and 28 by 28 stitches, but I don’t think that can be true. Either way they both fit in a 3 inch hoop and would be a super cute little addition to your Halloween decor.
