Cold Winter's Night - Cut Paper Art
by ruralpearl | Nov 18, 2009 | News & Events

I didn’t manage to get all my work scanned before I hung it on the walls at Crosstown Station. I’ll have better photos after the first of December -there’s about 7 or 8 new works I haven’t shown you here yet that I’m pretty excited about – you can see some of them in this picture!

I was excited to find out last night that my print of my original paper cutting titled “Heavy Things” has been included in Etsy’s Holiday Gift Guide! According to Etsy, “The Gift Guides are hand picked by Etsy staff from hundreds of thousands of items available.” Yay!

Something else really cool about this: I’m a little bit excited that my print is parked right next to that of Julia Pott! I’ve been a fan of her illustration and animation work for a very long time – she’s at the top of my browser bookmark list which has become quite long, and I enjoy checking up on her to see what she has going on. Her work is quite fun and whimsical and sweet and all kinds of things. CLICK HERE and SEE!
I also want to say THANK YOU to Jen, aka, belaluna, over at Etsy for giving me the heads up that I was in the Gift Guide as well as so many nice, warm, encouraging words about my artwork. Hi Jen! Thank You! She has a wide variety of lots of really cool things in her shop – beautiful jewelry, really spectacular photographs, fuzzy knit things! To make her all the cooler, she donates 10% of her sales to animal causes. It’s almost Christmas folks, I reckon paying her a visit might do you some good! <-Click.

Daily Grind - 5 x 7 inches. Cut Paper Art
Now that I’ve got all my work for my current exhibit behind me, I’m back to work.. I’ve got a few different commissions underway, plus I’m working on some new paper cuttings for the Lawrence Holiday Art Fair which is coming up on December 5 at the Lawrence Arts Center. I’m also going to be listing all my goodies on Etsy soon (magnet sets.. buttons.. greeting cards..). I’ve been taking them from art fair to art fair, but haven’t gotten around to getting them into my online store yet, so stay tuned. Plus, watch for some new things to come!
If you haven’t had a chance to stop by Crosstown Station in Kansas City, my paper cuttings will be hanging throughout the month of November. It’s a really nice place to hangout or have dinner- they’ve got food and drinks and live music pretty much every night. Check them out on the web.

In anticipation of tonight’s opening, Steve Brisendine of ArtKC365.wordpress.com, did this awesome write-up on my work!

ArtKC365 - A Day by Day Look at Kansas City's Art & Artists
From ArtKC365: There’s a quote (perhaps apocryphal) attributed to Michelangelo, in response to a query about how he created his marble masterpiece David: “I just cut away everything that wasn’t the statue.” That’s the approach Angie Pickman takes to her art, albeit in a far more fragile medium… READ ON
