More papercuts

Here are my latest papercuts - I've framed the Picassoish one so that now it looks nice and crisp and clean behind glass - and I've added a new one that I completed today. It's in grey and the images show the design and the progression of the cutting.

New Work

Enjoying using just the basic tools of a pencil, knife and paper I'm developing a collection papercuts.

These are some of the first experimental pieces based on old drawings in my sketch book. 

All my glass designs start life as a drawing followed by a stencil, but the stencils have to be discarded after sandblasting. The process of creating my glass becomes complex as it often requires processes over which I have no control, such as toughening, polishing and double glazing. I am therefore drawn to the simplicity of being able to create imagery using a few tools in my hands and hope that it will lead my work in new directions.  

Chair

I designed this fabric a few years ago and have recently had this old chair belonging to my mother upholstered with it
