The Swiss Art of Papercutting 

Mmaxadidas i hope it becomes a tradition!

@I am probably wrong you from switzerland?

Maybe she is only famous in the french speaking part of Switzerland, depending where you are from in switzerland you may not know her. So mostly Genève, Vaud and Valais 😁

Valaisan here ! No I didn’t hear of her until watching this video

Ok 😉 Probably famous in Vaud then 😁😁

@@flotealy *Swiss power, or *Francophone power, but definitely not "French power", cher compatriote. :p

Kat you know self deprecation isn’t a form of a compliment. You should just say that’s she’s amazing without the “I’m so much worse I can’t do this”.

Ikr? They even give us dotted/straight bold lines lol...

@@antoniax2102 Actually, being a biomedical engineer and neuroscientist I can tell you that self-deprecation usually indicates a strong will to improve oneself and advance in one's skill. Self-deprecation functions as a channel for a process called Long Term Potentiation which is the main component of long term memory formation. This process gets enhanced when it is reused often so even self-deprecating events can bring about improvement due to the topic being at hand in the virtual mindscape. Being critical about conscious acts and analyzing other people's methodology is a driving factor in ultimate mental prowess.

Niels sure, buddy, whatever you say.

Haha

Loll! Yeah.....

You fool obviously Genesis was the one that actually did the paper cuts, then the old lady copied Genesis.

Someone's about to get wooooshed

@@dissidia7737 I'm glad noone got whooshed so far

Me too

Yes

Me too

Me too! Strange that we all got the same ad. As far as I'm concerned, it's wasted marketing dollars. Considering we're all already watching Great Big Story, we didn't need an ad. I've never seen one of their ads on any other videos, which if I was paying them that's where I'd want my ads.

Me too

She looks 60 years old

Like a fine wine😊

10/10 would smash

@Berry Squadin r/wooooosh

@Berry Squadin WHOOOSH

Its the shitty reddit text to speech channels that create these normies who spam woosh everywhere

With years of experience im sure you can do the same thing

Bruh. Just learn. As i always say; If you don’t wanna fix it then don’t complain.

random guy One could say your plump, unskilled, soft, disorganized hands.... Does that sound constructive? Consider grace and respect. Let these reflect in language choices.

Skill and precision come with practice! Some people are just more wobbly than others

Easy, your are a dumb butt 😋

Our eyes can play tricks on us, Carl.😁

same

Stop thinking with ur butt 😂

saaaaaame

Reach out to them... If you show promising enthusiasm towards their passion, they might just give you a call... :)

Me too! Seems like such a wonderful job!

Why do you have to work for Great Big Story to do this? Work for yourself. Get out there and do new things, go new places and you'll meet the same sorts of people. :-)

@@44BlueFoxes Because GBS has a budget. Unless you are well off and have access to an unlimited fund, traveling to countries just to meet people is cost prohibitive. And it would take at least one or two years of no income to build a decent following (if you're lucky!)

@@davidb5205 if you're genuinely interested in meeting interesting people then you don't need to get on a plane to do it & you don't need a massive budget. If that's what you think you need, then it's not the 'interesting people' you're interested in, it's the carefree rich person's lifestyle you want.

That is so stereotypical to think all they produce are Swiss army knives! ...They also produce cheese. ;)

And lots of gold

She most likely has had cataract surgery, and got the expensive / close-up lenses. I was amazed at how much I could see after my own surgery.

im 17 and ive needed glasses since i was 7 lol i will probably still need them when im 70

I've had mine since i was 2 years old...

I don't think it's dying out, because there are still quite some people around doing papercutting here in Switzerland. Even young men. I had a classmate in farming school who would make some small (10x15cm), fiddly papercuttings during the lessons while being bored. However, he had nearly always some of the best test scores and in the end of the schoolyear he giftet some of his works (the ones he mostly did in classes) to the teachers:) We see those artworks on a regular bases here, they're everywhere in switzerland, mostly very quietly and unnoticed done by normal everyday-hardworking people as some sort of relaxing and kept and never mentioned to someone, or given away to friends. Which may be the reason to the thought of it as a dying form of art. They are traditionally to this day always been done in black&white, coloured as this lady does i haven't seen yet myself. But then again she's from the french speaking part of our country, they are horribly unorganized and messy (her atelier...), but much more colorful and don't care to much about traditions. (which in this particular case i can agree with, because her colored cuttings look much more natural, interesting and alive than the traditional b&w ones)

samuel bhend woah the swiss french being unorganized and messy, that’s actually so true but I never really noticed it! I noticed how the german swiss part always looks neater and kinda strict. :D

@@MsJoeyJody yes. i like it neat and to a certain degree also strict myself but the really sad part about it is, that everybody always contols and judges everyone... the romands (french swiss) live much more "laisser faire" they judge you less on your look and how it looks around you and your property. while in swissgerman part you get very quickly in trouble with other people if you dont follow all rules (written or not) 100%exactly. they go even to local governement to ask them to control your property on things they think you shouldn't do because they don't do it. thats sad. there we really could learn much from the romands and also the ticinesi (ticino - italian speaking part of switzetland)

I tried cutting my fingers off with safety scissors

@@Alkalus how did that go for you

No cut fingers

Trash Lord well, he still has enough fingers to type...lol.

What is that.

What is what?

That why it beautiful

look it up

Lachs Kebap no absolutely not they don’t want to therefore they don’t have to

Yes.

It's done everywhere in Switzerland. We do it in the German speaking part as well.

For you to make art with nails :)

Something something money laundering

Although I didn't find her anywhere else on the web, she is pretty good for a great big story

It would work but that art is much older than Back To The Future :)

balmy bollocks, ad blocker.

You again. With the same comment. Again.

You have underestimated faith in humanity.

it's the swiss way of revenge for all those little but painfull papercuts, which you only detect with special PDE (Papercut-detection-equipement, aka: Soap)

Well, there's a reason why there's a term "aging well". My mother is in her mid 60s, but you couldn't tell from looking at her, she looks like she's still in her 30s or 40s. Get a professional photographer and make up and she'll look like she's 20 and mid 30s. All in all, my mother side of the family is bless with aging well.

@@RedWolf777SG I mean yeah i know that was a term but damn.
