Kinusaiga?

​

 

Kinusaiga is a Japanese art originated by the artist Setsu Maeno. It involves cutting a design into a backing material, laying fabric over the top and tucking it into the cuts you have made to form your picture. 

​

It's a really fun art form to explore and can be used to create very detailed and realistic pictures, extremely abstract scenes, or anything in between. 

​

Having a good supply of scrap fabric will provide you with a lot of options in how you put your pieces together and, just like other artforms, there's a bit of trial and error to see what works well and the style of art you enjoy creating with this form.
