I started an 'Around the World' paper-cut series during lockdown, creating pieces like this Russian cathedral just for fun. I never imagined I would one day stand right in front of it. It was a true manifestation moment and a reminder that art holds a little bit of magic.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/39d9a927-f185-4e5f-818d-92f25dc221b9) - [Video: I find cutting these little personalized bookmarks so relaxing between my bigger projects. This video shows the whole process of hand cutting a floral 'S' initial. Every tiny piece is removed by hand with a blade, no machines involved, just a lot of patience.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/c7d48bac-e346-4466-b1f7-99b0627066b1) - ![Here is my finished lotus design, all framed and ready to go. I chose a clear acrylic frame for this one because it gives the paper-cut a beautiful floating effect. The lotus is such a peaceful and symmetrical symbol to work on.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/74db6ffd-106b-4b18-85fd-b4f76ca3f810) - [Video: A little glimpse of me and my art. I love the contrast between creating a detailed custom portrait and then a symbolic piece like this winged bird. Each one has its own story and I pour my heart into both.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/71236bd4-27fc-4c52-b7e8-5ad3abe9e7c2) ## About Featured When you pick your piece, keep the display in mind. I use clear acrylic frames for a clean, floating effect on desks, but for wall displays, I highly recommend my double-glass frames—they let the natural light cast beautiful, shifting shadows through the cutouts. ### How my art comes together Every piece you see here starts as a blank sheet of 200 GSM paper. I don't use machines, lasers, or shortcuts. It is just me, a sharp craft knife, and a few hours of quiet focus. This manual process is why each piece feels different—the lines are organic, the edges are soft, and no two pieces are ever identical. ### The 'Around the World' series This cluster features my favourite architectural studies, like the Taj Mahal and international cathedrals. I created this series during the 2020 lockdowns as a way to travel from my desk. The double-glass framing is specific to these pieces; it creates depth, making the paper-cut look like it is suspended in mid-air. ### Personalised portraits and bookmarks Beyond the architecture, I love making custom portraits and bookmarks. If you are looking for a gift, the bookmarks are a personal favourite. They are quick, cute, and feature intricate floral details carved into initials. For portraits, I work directly from your photos to turn a memory into a permanent, paper-cut silhouette. ### Care and display All my work is archival-grade, meaning it won't yellow or degrade easily. Whether you pick a compact acrylic tabletop stand or a larger wall-mounted frame, everything arrives ready to display. Just find a spot with good lighting to really let the negative space and shadows shine. ## About Smriti I'm Smriti, and I turn paper into stories. Whether it is a custom portrait for a loved one or an architectural landmark from my travels, I cut every single line by hand. It is slow work, but I love the magic it creates.
