Daffs and Rabbit

What kind of imagery springs to mind when the words Spring and Easter are presented to you? A request was made for an easter design and that is how this character began to appear. Not my usual subject matter and I definitely wanted to avoid the cute factor, but it was a challenge I was willing to accept and it has since become one of my favourite images.

Rabbit is naturally the focal point of this design although Spring and the emergence of daffodils is of equal importance. The flowers have been created in a similar style to my ‘Nasturtiums’ design and their loose arrangement adds movement and interest to the artwork.
 
‘Daff and Rabbit’ is a meticulously made layered paper cut, in bas-relief, made using pieces of cut coloured paper. This design can only be achieved by layering one piece of cut paper on top of another, three or more layers thick.

The rabbit’s colouring was achieved by using an acrylic colour wash on white paper, to complete its subtle appearance. As some of the papers are slightly textured, they highlight the individual details and subtle shadows are created by the layering of the papers.
