<p>If you have seen our Winter 2021 issue of <a href="https://stationerytrends.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://stationerytrends.com/">Stationery Trends</a>, hopefully you saw a new favorite maker of mine, Kathryn Carr of <a href="https://www.gocarrgo.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://www.gocarrgo.com/">Go Carr Go</a>. All her imagery derives from her hand-cut paper art, and I think you&#8217;ll agree hers is a most enchanting world! </p>

<p>Kathryn&#8217;s work is influenced by storybooks from her childhood and a German type of folk art known as &#8220;scherenschnitte,&#8221; which literally translates to &#8220;scissor cuts.&#8221; Although they don&#8217;t &#8220;move&#8221; per se, her cards distill a lot of movement and emotion into two dimensions. </p>

<p>There&#8217;s a definite fairy tale vibe, so it&#8217;s not too surprising that Kathryn started creating illustrations for children&#8217;s books. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Lizbeth-Lou-Got-Rock-Shoe/dp/0991386655" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://www.amazon.com/Lizbeth-Lou-Got-Rock-Shoe/dp/0991386655">Lizbeth Lou Got a Rock in Her Shoe</a> was Kathryn&#8217;s first go.</p>

<p> Then, late in 2020, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Lottes-Magical-Paper-Puppets-Animated/dp/1624149413" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://www.amazon.com/Lottes-Magical-Paper-Puppets-Animated/dp/1624149413">Lotte&#8217;s Magical Paper Puppets</a> was published by Page Street Kids. This charming release recounts the life &; adventures of Lotte Reiniger, who produced the first feature-length animated movie a full decade before Disney released Snow White. The time is definitely right for this trailblazer to receive her due, especially when it concerns inspiring the next generation! </p>

<p>The book got precious ink in no less than <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/06/books/review/flying-paintings-the-zhou-brothers-a-story-of-revolution-and-art.html?fbclid=IwAR24Coop_ZFmO0ZOoxSaWNkwSWMvHgVC6649UEawxiSeHHlp_hE-BWG8Cxo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/06/books/review/flying-paintings-the-zhou-brothers-a-story-of-revolution-and-art.html?fbclid=IwAR24Coop_ZFmO0ZOoxSaWNkwSWMvHgVC6649UEawxiSeHHlp_hE-BWG8Cxo">The New York Times</a>, and the copy Kathryn kindly sent me is a joy to lose oneself in and learn more about Reiniger&#8217;s special magic.</p>
