 I picked a long strand of these flowers yesterday on my morning walk with the dog. It grows wildly and climbs over everything. It's Carolina Jessamine, the state flower

My favorite wild flowers are cropping up by the side of the road, but I need to bring  a knife to take them home. I'll show you some drawings of those pricklies tomorrow.

9. giant papercut process

I'm back! I know you've been waiting impatiently to find out all about this project of mine.....
Well, my wonderful new studio space sometimes doubles as a guest room, and sometimes as my place to do yoga, so I was looking for a little more privacy. The large glass insert in the door lets in a lot of light and definitely brightens up the space, so I didn't want to lose that. 

whole door in action

I considered frosting the glass, but I wanted something reversible, I considered a light curtain, blinds, ,window film, but I wanted something more unusual. (picky? who, me?) 
I got started on this papercut when I realized how to avoid the stretching and flopping that would happen if I tried to make a papercut this large and then glue it somewhere (not a pretty thought).

detail
Reverse papercut! I cut out all the small shapes and scenes and started from the outside in with a nod to symmetry, but not completely even. I used liquid laundry starch to glue down most things, and took a glue stick to the tiny details. Now that I'm done, I found this other tip, it seems that milk is also good for attaching paper to glass and mirrors. I'll try that next time.
Ta da, I'm pretty happy with it, and when I'm tired of it I can use some water and a spatula and scrape it all off. Don't worry, I don't spend a lot of time washing my windows anyway....

time to sweep up the little pieces today

10. giant papercut


Lately I have been working on covering the glass part of my studio door with a giant reverse papercut. (I know, we all have our little hobbies)
Here is a view of the whole thing, I can already hear the school bus honking, so check back tomorrow for some detail shots and an explanation of the process.

11. Lisa and Lotty



This is a personal papercut  did for a fantasy cover for one of my favorite childhood books.
I think it's still a bit hard to read the text, I'm going to try it with a paper cut overlay just for the title. Back to the drawing board

13. Elsa Mora and Paper Cutting

 

Elsa More PaperCut

Elsa Mora PaperCut

 Lately (and by lately I mean for the last three years or so… things are slow in my world) I’ve been noticing all sorts of super wonderous papercut work, or work that looks like paper cuts. It’s a major art form people, and the more you look for it, the more you find it. Trust me, I know! I’ve been collecting links to post here for awhile and my bookmark folder is fair burgeoning! (um, not sure what that phrase is supposed to mean exactly, but it sounds like fancy pirate talk so I left it in there)

To get us started on the whole multi-post papercut/silhouette thang, I can think of no better place to begin than Elsa Mora (see Elsa’s blog here and Elsa’s fab Flickr gallery here . A fabulous multi media artist in her own right, Elsa’s papercuts are exquisite and whimsical. But that’s not all… Elsa has a blog dedicated entirely to the art of papercuts (here! Click Here!). She provides links to tons of fabulous papercut artist in the right hand column there and I encourage you to rifle thru them… the scope of some of these works is simply mind-boggling.
