I found a site that has a featured Wycinanki artists named Karen Kobylarz. She sells her art under the name KobyKrafts and signs her pieces Koby. They are showing about a dozen of the works for her and the hearts are especially pretty (i Think) including the Easter Egg piece although I like the angels as well.
