Tulips and Cat

The idea for this paper cut is a development of a previous design (I Won) and stems from our cats loving to hide in the garden, amongst the plants and flowers. I also have a love of tulips; therefore, it seemed fitting that I combine two of my favourite images together. 
 
The tulips and cat take up approximately the same amount of space to coincide with their equal importance. The cat is a strong shape and forms an effective barrier, separating the bold coloured background from the delicate tulips in the foreground to create a fresh, spring-like image.
 
‘Tulips and Cat’ 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. The cat’s features have also been enhanced with the additional use of acrylic paints.
