Started Papercutting Again!
With support for my friend at @ceefercrafts I have started papercutting again!
A True Art?
I’ve been doing some reading about papercutting but there aren’t that many books about it to be honest. I think it’s either an ignored artform, called something else by the professional ladies and gentlemen or maybe papercutting is kind of self-explanatory and doesn’t require further research. Or maybe, shudders, it’s not considered an artform at […]
How to Frame Papercuttings (straight to the point & rant free)
It’s called a Box Frame. And it’s usually a type of frame used to display medals, seashells and other precious sentimental things. You can type it into ebay, google or even explorer. A Box Frame usually looks like this (it can be different colours or sizes but note the depth) See the shadow it […]

Karma at this point was probably having a similar metaphorical reaction except its went like this – “Mwahahahahahaahahahaa” cue diabolically finger movements. The beginning of my week was rather positive. […]

Lion, The Witch and my Dodgey Wardrobe
Today I tried something waaay more complicated than my usual but I was feeling good after cutting my Dandy Lion papercut and thought to myself – Bring it Universe! Bring IT! And I think its..sorta….kinda…maybe ok but the paper was too heavy. I thought that heavy paper would be more forgiving and keep the little […]
