Autumn Stags

Deer are such beautiful creatures and are particularly spectacular in the autumn. It was that time of year and this idea needed to be put into action. This design evokes the feeling of a warm autumn’s day with leaves turning colour from yellow to red, and these two being at ease in their environment. 
This piece focuses on the deer’s shape and their markings, which have been stylised to reinforce the theme of nature. Deer are larger than you’d expect therefore it seemed fitting to have them fill the foreground and have a colourful, stylised woodland as their backdrop.

Autumn Stags has been precisely hand-made using layers of cut, pearlescent and plain coloured papers thus forming a bas-relief.  The pearlescent gold has a really attractive sheen and adds sophistication to the piece, enhancing the other colours, subtly emphasising the shapes and details. The foliage colours have been made by using strips of coloured paper to create a gradient colour effect.

This design can only be achieved by layering one section of cut paper on top of another, three or more layers thick. Some of the papers are slightly textured and subtle shadows have been created by the cutting and layering of the papers.
