i can’t think of a better way to start today than with these incredible new paper-cut maps of nyc by julie of famille summerbelle. i know i will be saving up for one for my home- not only is it fun to see all the little city details like people playing and working in the streets, but it’s an incredibly gorgeous piece just to sit back and see from a distance. julie always does beautiful work and her latest piece is no exception. the map goes on sale next monday, october 5th, but until then you can read more info here and purchase other city maps (paris and london) right here at the famille summerbelle shop. thanks julie and anne!

Wow! All I can say is incredible. Such beautiful detail in every inch & a cool design….and such patience. But so worth it! =)

these are fabulous ~~
Too, too gorgeous, and so wonderfully lighthearted. Thanks so much for this lead – am going to check out more of her work.
I absolutely adore papercuts. Her work is amazing! There are so many great artists now doing such interesting things with this art form.

and just yesterday I was considering buying her Paris map. can’t wait for NYC!
amazing. so gorgeous.
Ooh lovely — i like that it’s a dark sapphire instead of black paper, so the contrast is gentle. Amazing work.
lovely. but isn’t this a bite off of rob ryan’s stuff?
Truly one of those pieces worth the $.
I don’t see ever getting bored of looking at it. Every inch is an exploration!
These are beautiful. The art of papercutting, (scherenschnitte in German) is also very popular in Switzerland (Gstaad, for example). The workmanship is incredible. These are really special and unique works of art. This summer I saw fashion-related ones. So cool!
Intricate and lovely. What a stunning piece of artwork.
Bravo.
Thanks for sharing the work of that artist. I hadn’t seen their art before. It reminds me of Beatrice Caron. Very nice. jan
Such a pretty map, I wonder if they make it for other cities as well. A great useable NYC Map is City Maps. It’s interactive and can pretty much tell you anything about the city!
