My Design Cloud
My design cloud . . . is like a scramble egg with toast. Two cracks of simple experiences mixed with a pinch of enthusiasm and 200 ml of sweet dreams cooked on a very low flame of my paper love with a combination of crisp toasted ideas and a heart full of buttered patience is what my design cloud looks like. yumm!!!
I love doing things that take tremendous patience and hard work. So a few months back I stumbled upon the incredible art of paper cutting while having a heart to heart with GOOGLE GOD and i fell in love with paper all over again. Interestingly this was an art I could not start learning without proper tools....so I went shopping. I proved to be a typical girl... ended up buying clothes and got my nails done before buying my art supplies. Well a girl needs retail therapy from time to time :) .
So I started with my 1st design for paper cut art. I normally design for a purpose and a great idea struck me. I had been planning to give a card to one of my Brazilian friends who is a total sweetheart. FYI Brazilians are super friendly and helpful. If not for him we would not have been able to settle as comfortably as we did in this foreign land with a total foreign language. So I thought why not start with making a card for him. Personally I think handmade gifts are the perfect ones to make any occasion special and memorable.
The design has to be created in a reverse pattern for a fresh and clean finished product. It took some time to understand how the tools work and how to create a design that had a continuity in terms of white and black spaces.
So my 1st design was a floral pattern with a thankyou note . As I started cutting I got more and more confident and though it took a LOT of patience and time and my fingers hurt still it was fun ……. and isnt craft and art all about FUN !!!
