Ouch . . . Papercut.

So, I was making someone a card and as I'd been looking at the work of Amy Williams (the artist not the athlete, google will confuse you) I thought I'd do a piece inspired by here beautiful papercuts.

She has said that she gets her inspiration from folklore and fairytales. As I had recently looked at one of my favourite pictures, 'Brita as Iduna' (a lithograph by Carl Larsson), I thought I would try to capture the story of Little Red Riding Hood as the girl from Larsson's picture always reminds me of Little Red.

A Birthday card.

This doesn't really count as an art day as I made this, not for the project, but for a friends birthday.

As her card I did a vaguely Aztec/Indian design in which I tried to cunningly conceal and Indian Bead bracelet I made. I hadn't tried Indian beadwork before but the bracelet turned out wonderfully and I hope she likes it.
