Meet Nikki Salk and Amy Flurry. Nikki is an artist and fashion blogger, Amy is a freelance writer, editor and stylist. In January, 2010 the two women founded the Paper-Cut-Project, a company that conceives art direction and highly crafted installations in paper for window installations, runway, catalog and advertising campaigns.
Flurry and Salk describe their custom made paper art installations as "fueled by a love of fashion and an appreciation of the grace and nuance of this humble material"
They have designed installations and window displays for chic stores like Jeffrey New York and Atlanta and an exclusive collection of animals for Hermes.

It's beginning to look a lot like Star Wars...
I spotted these awesome Star Wars paper snowflakes over at Geekologie submitted to them by a reader of theirs named David (and subsequently featured on Gizmodo, Laughing Squid and Neatorama). However, if you haven't come across them yet, here they are, complete with template instructions, so you can try your hand at your own:
The text that accompanies the snowflakes reads:
My wife is a genius. She made these little beauties while making paper snowflakes with the kids. She saw our son Ethan making one that somewhat looked like a Storm Trooper. She then ran with the idea and made these masterpieces. The top one is Boba Fett and a Clone Trooper. The bottom is obviously Darth Vader. Notice the nice touch with the Galactic Empire logo in the middle.
David did not provide us with the name of his talented wife, but a big thanks to both of them! The link to the original post is below and rumor has it they will be adding more snowflake designs!
