Ellie

Ellie was created as a nod to Indian painted elephants in celebration of the Hindu festival of Diwali and was always destined to be highly decorative. Ellie is wearing anklets which brings her whole look together.
 
As the second design in a series, the blue and white elements are leaning more heavily towards Folk Art and the idea of using stylised natural forms is really starting to emerge. The blue and white are a good contrast and provide a really fresh appearance. The pop of orange on the tusks really ties the design together. 

Ellie is a meticulously handmade layered paper cut, in bas-relief, using multiple pieces of cut coloured paper. 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 which highlights their patterns and subtle shadows are created by the layering of the papers.
