Beauty by a Thousand Cuts


 Paper cuts and eyelids.  Would you utter two phrases in the same sentence? I doubt it.   But  Ting yu Wang has created intricately cut paper eyelashes that blends elements of traditional culture with contemporary design.

As delicate as lace, each pair of lashes is based on the Chinese art of jian zi, or paper cutting. They feature traditional motifs such as peonies (for happiness),  peach blossoms (romance)  and horses (success) .

Practical or not ? I leave it to fashionistas . But from a point of design, innovation and attention to details, I admire Ting yu Wang for his inspirational  craft.
