I was recently introduced to the amazing papercutting artist Elsa Mora on Ambika’s blog. I was shocked & slightly embarrassed that it took me so long to discover her! What a gem! I especially adore this piece entitled “El Corazon (Heart)”. Elsa seems to explain the sentiments behind this piece quite eloquently on her blog:

… The journey starts in our heart. If your heart has been broken once or twice or many times just pick up your instrument and don’t give up making your own music because remember:  ”The heart is the only broken instrument that works” :)

Love her words, love this piece & everything that it represents. See more of Elsa’s work on her papercutting blog & be sure to visit her Etsy for much more papercutting goodness.
