The Bride Trio

Snowdrops have got be one our most favourite spring flowers. I look out for them every year and am delighted to see them poking out their heads and braving the remains of the long winter days. They vary in size and shape and this particular member of the species is actually called ‘The Bride’.  I chose them specifically because of the openness of their shape. 

This piece is a departure from my other more stylised, symmetrical designs and focuses on snowdrops growing more randomly. This piece does have an Art Nouveau style to it using flowing lines to connect the various aspects of the design together. 

‘The Bride Trio’ has been meticulously hand-made using layers of cut, textured and coloured papers to create a bas-relief. An acrylic paint colour wash has been added to the leaves to form a strong alternative colour to the background, thus allowing us to fully focus on the flowers.

The silver pearlescent card is subtle but contrasts beautifully in proximity to the freshly coloured leaves and plain white flower heads. The light shimmers across its surface, showing a slightly granulated texture which will undoubtedly attract attention. Some of the cut papers are slightly textured which highlights their shapes, and subtle shadows are created by the layering of the papers.
