Daily Prompt
Cutting out a new skirt this morning. Love to see it emerge from the fabric, the art of cutting away. Make art about this emergence from cutting away;
or reenvision one of these old adages, making us see it in some new way:
cut out, cut off, cut bait, cut the cord, cut loose, cut to the chase, a cut above, cut and dried, cut a rug, cut and paste, unkindest cut, cut to the bone, cut and run, cut from the same cloth,cuts both ways.
