Back on the 7th of January, which was a particularly bright and sunny day, I went for a long walk all around the Blickling estate, taking photographs for inspiration for a new series of paper cuts for 2012.
The rest of January flew by, taken up by 'important things' such as filing my tax return in time, rehearsing a pantomime, entertaining my mother-in-law and my daughter on various visits here and the mammoth task of producing my husband's auction catalogue.
But today, with only a few urgent things on my 'to do' list that I managed to ignore, I finally got around to drawing and cutting out a new design.
It's not the paper cut I thought I was going to make. That one has a barn owl on it and the front of the hall. But this one sort of designed itself without much interference from me. It is here in it's raw state, freshly cut – I will spray it black tomorrow and leave it to dry for a few days before framing it.
I have three exhibitions coming up in May and June, so I need to produce a lot of work over the next couple of months. I wonder what the next one will look like!
Really like this one Claire x
