Collaboration: “The lady with the feathered hat”

This is part of an online collaboration with vera.drmanovski as part of the #Imcutoutforcollab series. Handcut elements as well as calligraphy techniques were used to create a lady’s silhouette to celebrate a love for detail and layered elements, and a variety of assembly and gif videos of this artwork can be found at @thepensivedesk instagram.

 

This A3 art piece is a collaborative piece. The “I’m cut out for” words were part of an online prompt done by Vera. The overall concept of the lady’s silhouette, the words “a life spent celebrating beauty” as well as all the papercut elements are my own.

All the elements were raised at different levels to allow for depth and shadows to form.

Original Prompt by Vera Drmanovski

The words were handwritten using a broad edge pen and then subsequently cut by hand to create a layered effect.
