I Won

The idea for this paper cut originated from a design I drew many years ago for the centre piece of a quilt my mother was making for a friend. I made the applique centre piece for her and, as I’d worked on this design, it had always stuck in my mind.
 
The story behind this image is that one of our cats would always take exception to my mother’s flower arrangements and would look triumphant after she had destroyed them!
 
‘I Won’ is a carefully 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 cat has been made using a hammered white textured paper to give the appearance of fluffy fur. This contrasts well with the more smooth, coloured papers highlighting the individual details, and subtle shadows are created by the layering of the papers.
