Folksy Bird

Folksy bird is the development and simplification of a previous design. This design needed to be differentiated from its colourful cousin (Fiesta Bird) which is where the simpler colour combination emerged and gave an opportunity for pattern-making, loosely based on a variety of birds’ feathers.
The blue and white elements of this design are leaning towards Folk Art and the idea of stylising natural forms is starting to emerge.

The blue and white are a good contrast and provide a really fresh appearance. The pop of orange on the beak really brings the whole design together. Folksy Bird is a meticulously made layered paper cut, in bas-relief, made from multiple pieces of cut coloured paper. This design is loosely based on a bird’s plumage and offered an opportunity for multiple patterns to be used. Some of the papers are slightly textured which highlights their shapes, and subtle shadows are created by the layering of the papers.
