We're gearing up for Christmas - (with the first of the Christmas workshops starting tomorrow!) to help you create beautiful handmade gifts, decorations and gift wrap...
With the colder autumnal nights here, it's lovely to reflect on family traditions past and present - I remember sitting with mum from an early age busy making paper decorations for the Christmas tree and paper chains that adorned the curtains... I loved (and still do!) setting up and decorating the table ready for family and friends to arrive and for the anticipated feast...
It's all part of setting the scene for the celebrations and festivities - adding that little bit of magic... the worst part for me is when it's time for the decorations to come down and return to their boxes in the loft until next year - it always looks so empty!
However, I have found a way...
(maybe not everything has to be packed)
Inspired by shadow art and the art of storytelling - these stunning paper cut designs really come into their own inside their box frame. The contrast between papers along with the depth of the frame allows the intricate details of the paper cuts to suspended in space and time. Beautiful shadows are cast onto the backdrop, seemingly dancing as they tell their story of Christmas!
