Yesterday 6 delightful and creative women joined me in my first 'Introduction to Papercutting' class at the CASTLE! After a couple of hours exploring various tricks and tools of the trade, each student jumped in and created one of a kind silhouette portraits. This assignment started with everyone having the same classic profile to work with. First each student had to search through old magazines and find 'something' to put on top of the profile that would read as a hat, but also perhaps as something else entirely. Choices were then made on foreground and background papers and the results mounted on canvas boards. It was such a thrill to see how different each one turned out - but still having the similarity of the classic profile!
As a special treat, Karima has taken one of my designs and created a printable PDF on her blog HERE so you can try your hand at this wonderful craft!!!
