Deco Daffs

Daffodils really do herald the start of Spring. They are so bright and cheerful that poetry gets written about them! They bring elegance to any garden, or open space, always attract attention and can be relied upon to reappear every year. There are so many varieties but the yellow with the orange centre is probably the most common, therefore that colour combination is what I have focussed on.

This piece focuses on the flower, making it the focal point with its yellow, symmetrically arranged petals, and the flower’s intricate centre, lending itself perfectly to an Art Deco style artwork.  Contrasting silver pearlescent card has been used for the corner pieces to form a strong border, that envelopes the flower, celebrating the flower’s significance.

‘Deco Daff’ has been precisely hand-made using layers of cut, textured and coloured papers to create a bas-relief. The silver pearlescent card is subtle, contrasting in terms of colour and texture against the brightly coloured daffodil, adding sophistication and movement to the design.

The light shimmers across its surface, showing a slightly granulated texture which will undoubtedly attract attention. Some of the papers are slightly textured which highlights their shapes, and subtle shadows are created by the layering of the papers.
