Desert Rose

11 x 14 inch paper cutting. This is based off a sketch which I posted HERE for the Sketchbook Project.. and I realized early on I didn’t really have extra time to do that project. Soooo, I always liked that sketch and decided to make it into a full-blown paper cutting.

At Summer’s End

5 x 7 inch paper cutting. I did this one a little differently (and as an excuse to experiment): there is a 3D effect created by sprinkling cut out tissue paper leaves onto glue brushed on the paper. I liked the texture and randomness achieved — much like leaves on a real live tree.
