It asked me to do it.
It sat there looking at me.
Looking sorry for itself.
I spent so long on this piece,
I had a vision but it never really worked out right.
So today I took my scissors to it.
I cut... and I cut again
I am so pleased I took the risk. I really like the way the edges curl and the papery quality of the waxed material. I wonder though, could I have made such pleasing compositions without first making the large piece; I don't think so.
These pieces will be on the wall this weekend for my open studio, so you will be able to see them in a more detail. Also currently at the Butterfly Rooms on the first floor you can find beautiful cyanotype prints by Hunt & Gather Design.
You are all invited... hope you can make it!

Deletethe cutting was most definitely worth the risk of cutting. it's very strong now. i, too, would drop in, if not for a (really) big pond in the way.
ReplyDeleteHannah they are beautiful - its a brave thing to do cutting a large piece! But they show a natural earth quality and connection between them.
