For me, cutting paper is a way to make art that feels personal and a bit dreamy. Every piece I make is slow, detailed, and honestly, sometimes my hand cramps up - but it’s worth it when I see the final result. ### What I Make - Portraits and custom pieces that feel like a little bit of you on paper - Architectural wonders from my 'around the world' series - like a tiny Taj Mahal or Colosseum, all hand-cut - Thematic art inspired by nature and symbols, like my lotus for peace and symmetry - Personalized paper bookmarks with your initial and floral patterns - these are my go-to when I want to make something quick and cute ### How I Work No machines, no shortcuts. Just me, a sharp blade, and a lot of patience. Every line and curve is hand-cut from a single sheet. Sometimes it takes hours, but that’s what makes each piece so delicate and unique. The empty spaces are just as important as the paper left behind. ### Finishing Touches I always frame the art so it’s ready to display. You can pick a modern acrylic frame for that floating look, or a classic glass frame to make the details pop on your wall. If you want something that’s a bit different, a bit personal, and made with a lot of care, this is what I do. ## Highlights Browse through Smriti's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/paperrfection/decorative-paper-cut-art/featured) - [Video: This is the story of how my art became real life.

Grateful, always. ### My work - **What I make**: Custom paper portraits, handmade floral bookmarks, lotus frames - anything you dream up, I’ll try cutting it! - **All hand-cut, all me**: I do every bit by hand.
