“Two lanky black cats scared of a bat.. But a pumpkin unmoved by the spider inside her!”
I designed the template below for my visit to Buchanan Elementary School in Branson, MO, last week. Each student got to take a copy home to practice symmetrical paper cutting. Click on the image or the link below to download a printable copy for your own practice! Instructions are included on the print out. (Not for commercial use).

Project: 2014 Porcupine Mountains Music Festival, presented by Friends of the Porkies. I was asked to create a design around their guitar shaped logo, and this is what I came up with- inspired by wildflowers found in upper Michigan, where the festival took place. The design was used on t-shirts, handbills, program guide, and posters.

Awhile back I designed a paper cutting for this tattoo for Anna R. (see the cutting here: https://ruralpearl.com/blog/?p=6508) based on an old bookplate design. And here it is, in the flesh (literally)! (Thanks for the photo Anna!)
