Paper net curtain 001

A paper cut-out net curtain, used instead of a fabric net curtain.
Scalloped bottom net curtain edge featuring smaller scalloped edge pattern. Each scallop shape features a vertical floral motif inscribed into a round rosette. An openwork pattern punched using circular stamps of various sizes (broderie anglaise imitation), dominated by a large number of holes in a pattern reminiscent of cutwork embroidery from Pogórze.
Primarily floral motifs, with some geometric and arch shapes between the main pattern elements. Punched round shapes fill the space between the broken lines. The pattern combines repeated floral and geometric motifs. Pattern elements are either independent or accompanied by other elements.
