Rural Pearl BiRD Cut Paper Design Pillows

Rural Pearl BiRD Cut Paper Design Pillows - Back
Remember this cut paper design I did awhile back? Well, I had it screen printed locally on some navy fabric, and then I learned how to use a sewing machine and whipped up some pillows. The back is a khaki colored fabric, complete with a hidden zipper and Rural Pearl’s stamp, or rather, tag of approval. I admit, my sewing skills could use some improvement (reference the fraying of my tag), but its pretty neat having a design on something other than paper. I think there may be more of this.. bags.. shirts maybe.. Any ideas?
These will be in my Etsy store very soon. They’ll also be available at my upcoming art fair in Lawrence this Sunday (yikes!), for which I’m just about ready. Hoping that some of you will be able to make it out! Also hoping for pleasant weather (fingers crossed)…

The layers for Winter Observer - Cut Paper Art
Next cutting coming up: a winter scene, bird included, of course. I’m using 4 layers of paper for this one. This is new for me – I’ve never used 4 full pages of paper for one cutting – bits and pieces maybe, but never the full page. So we’ll see what comes of it.. Anyway, it’s a gray day today. Its only September, but the weather is cooling, and, well, winter is my favorite season, so I look forward to it. I’ve got my winter playlist playing (a little Sera Cahoone, Julie Miller, Neil Young, Meat Puppets, Bela Fleck, Jenny Lewis, Cady Wire, blah blah blah, etc etc etc etc… it’s a lot of songs…) and I’ve been cutting all morning. Now’s for the assembly, mounting and framing. Next post: the full monty… Stay tuned.

She had books and such, but rather, she decided to go straight to the source, as she wanted much to be a bird. It all comes in stages, the realization, she realized.
