Fished this out of the back of my closet while “winter cleaning” and I’m not sure if I’m ready to crumple it up and use the frame for something else or put it up on my website for sale.
I loved this piece once because the topographical maps were just so beautiful, but I showed it a few times at indie markets and it just never got any love. And now, like love sometimes does, it has faded.

And I’m not sure if it’s all the book marketing over the past year, but something’s got me wanting to quote Titanic…very poorly…

“And now you know there was a [papercut] named [idk] and that [it existed in my closet], in every way that a [papercut] can [exist].”

Postcard/mini print drop coming next week, and there might just be a stand-out favorite.

A colored version of my Ouroboros papercutting art with poppies and sage. The little snake and two-toned flowers came out so pretty!

This was supposed to be my summer project—going BIG with a a full sheet piece—but balancing commissions, bird mafia, my book release, a mental health, and general life managed to get in the way. Fingers crossed for more time for this one in August!

My assistant, Pigeon, is absolutely no help.

I’m declaring “stargazer summer.” Look at the sky. Daydream. Dip your toes in the river and admire the ripples. Lay in the grass and trace the constellations. Fall in love (in whatever way that suits you.)
