Scissorcuts in Colour

A series of German-Canadian Christmas themed puzzles with matching cards is
complete!

These colour scissorcuts were a project commissioned back in the 1990s, by the German Canadian Congress in Ottawa. 

The original scissorcuts were initially just printed as cards, but the idea to republish and also make them into puzzles brings out the size and feel of the original artwork more dramatically.
 




More Roadtrips through the beautiful Prairie!

 On the way to Shaunavon in southern Saskatchewan - gorgeous prairie inside and out. The Grand Coteau Centre offered amazing displays in its natural history museum! Nature also offered the scenic views we've come to love and that inspired both Waltraude and her late husband Fritz to create many, and a wonderful variety of art works. 

 

 

 

This was the fourth trip to meet the hosts and some of the community of art galleries showing the 3 year travelling OSAC Scissorcut exhibit.

Endless sunshine, endless fields, dotted with hay bales and a church. 

 

Scissor Cutting Fun!

The roadtrip through the September country side ended up in Shaunavon, Saskatchewan, where the OSAC travelling Scissorcut exhibit was held:

As seen by the Grand Coteau Centre's Instagram post, it was mutually exciting to visit and tour the museum. Not only the scissor cut display, but especially the workshops and the historical and prairie flora and fauna collection! Wow!!!
