ethereal (adjective): extremely delicate and light in a way that seems not to be of this world.
There seem to be a trend for tiny things.
How small can you go in papercutting terms? I had to give it a try ...
I was tempted to see what I could create with a smaller dimension. I decided not to use maps to cut but use them as a back ground instead. I thought that cutting a design so small, the details of the maps would become fuzzy. I used black paper for the small papercuts which I then set floating in front of a map background relating to it's subject.
These little pieces of artwork are cut by hand and measure approximately 7x4cm (2 3/4 x 1.5 inches) They are framed floating in a white 11x10cm box frame.
I have to admit to using my brilliant day light with a large magnifying glass for some of these! You will see why ...
Lets have a closer look!
I love the Paris scene with the small couple getting all romantic, as you do!
Then there is a little bit of London, Brighton, Scotland even India! Where shall I go next in this mini world?
lovely
