"Kitties New Purse" #13 In Bird Cage Series - Paper cut Scherenschnitt
"Kitties New Purse" is #13 in my Bird Cage Paper Cut Series. Kitty shared with me that she felt that she needed a new fall purse. She wanted something that would go with all of her outfits, and yet be functional (Kitty is just so practical). The Bird Cage purse caught her eye. She just loved the the little song about the kitty and the robin printed on the side.
I think that she looks rather stylish, don't you!?!
(Don't worry, I'll warn Miss Robin before she takes a look inside! : )

"This Life" #12 in Bird Cage Series - Paper Cut Scherenschnitt

Traveling until she finds her love, through this life, and if need be, into the next.
"This Life" is number twelve in my series titled "Bird Cage". The different elements for this papercut were cut from Canson paper using scherenschnitte scissors and X-Acto knife. A new #11 blade is used with a self healing cutting mat underneath the paper. The elements were assembled in layers. A French letter from the 1800s is the first element for the back of the bird cage. The birds were adhered with Elmer's Multi-Purpose Spray Adhesive. The remaining bird cage pieces, including the photograph were added using the spray adhesive . "This Life" measures approx. 7 1/2" x 6", and has been mounted on a 10" x 8" 140lb archival off white watercolor paper.
