LAST MINUTE INSTRUCTIONS...
Today I'm showing the beginning of a little scenario I am making up, using cut paper [scherenschnitte] characters. The paper is Ingres in the colour black. It is so fine and so strong and so opaque that it's perfect for this project I am working on. Here we have 'fairyyellowbug' dressed up in a custom dyed black frock and wearing custom dyed velvet shoes. She is the master of ceremonies and is giving one of the workers last minute instructions:
Here is a longer shot because I just had to show you what else sits on my work spot this week. A vase filled with delicious glorious fall dahlias from the farmer's market:
Julia hosts this fun event every Wednesday. There's a bounty of work spaces to view and to see where people work, just go visit Julia and she'll have the links for you. There's an amazing array in which to partake!!
Thanks for dropping in today, and I hope I'll be seeing you again soon, hugs Norma, xo
a fairy-tale in the making and flamboyant dahlias, this looks like cozy working, x
ReplyDeleteVery intriguing Scherenschnitte but I can't take my eyes from this incredible gorgeous dahlias what wonderful colours/shapes it makes fall instantly to a favorite time of the year, although I'm a spring type I have to admit.

I love it, I'm very curious to what you're going to do with them! It's a bit scary as well, the worker looks cute;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat cutting, not something I have tried, but have a very old book about the history and how to do. Lovely dahlias, reminds me of the Dahlia garden in my home town of Hamburg. Francesca #94
ReplyDeleteScary, scary cutout - brilliant. I love dahlias but don't like the earwig bugs that seem to live in ours!! x Jo
ReplyDeleteGreat fairytale and those flowers are to die for.

I think your characters are brilliant ... they remind me of the shadow picture stories of my childhood.#81
ReplyDeleteScherenschnitte - what a fascinating technique, Norma! I hope we get to see the final project. I needed this dahlia color burst on a RAINY morning here. xxoo, sus
ReplyDeleteGreat characters! That looks awesome and I'm so jealous you have beautiful fall flowers to enjoy. There is no such thing as fall in Florida so I have to live vicariously through others.... Happy WOYWW! Tammy #121

Ohmy word, however early it feels, those flowers are fall in it's glory, huh! Love the scherenschnitte - they do say, if the broom fits..!
ReplyDeleteAbout my desk..the flat tray with funnel type hole at the end...you were very close..I use to catch excess powders when heat embossing, funnel for putting excess back in the pot. A genuinely invaluable tool. My word, I may need to blog about it!
Your shadow works draw the looker in for sure. Your descrition brings them to life.
ReplyDeleteAWESOME- keep smiling and creating, can't wait to see the finished piece
This is very interesting that is for sure, I will have to come back now and find out exaclty what you are upto. Love the flowers they are really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and happy WOYWW
