A New Venture

papercutting by hand

I have spent all night setting up a big cartel and a facebook page for the business criteria of the course. Still steaming ahead with the old papercutting and loving it more every day. I will also be setting up a new blog specifically for the business, but use it as my main blog, so I guess this is where me and Raingirl part ways. I didn't really use this blog as much as I planned to. So much of the course has consumed me from morning to night, you tend to binge work especially when a project draws near, so it leaves little time for anything else. We have one fair on the 17th May and then FP which promises to be a hum dinger..lots ofo talk about installations and life size displays.
Signing off, Claire

Trends and Prototypes

So now we are on the penultimte assignment. To create 6 samples of work for our Final Project. I was told to draw, so I spent 3 weeks collecting images and refining them. I tried portraits, posters, sketches and cartoon strips. I liked them all for different reasons but then I tried papercutting and fell in love. Paper and stationery has always been a love, and I always knew I could do more than just draw. So now I'm sculpting little pictures with paper

Strange to think that I'm past the halfway point of this diploma now.I think its fair to say I'm finding my feet and what I like t do and what I can see myself doing as a career. Just need to find someone who will pay me now. So here are a few pictures of what I've been playing with since Spring term began..
