Decoupage
Thursday, July 10th, 2008
The artist told me it took her about 50 hours to cut it out, this art form (découpage) only found, to my knowledge, in some of the mountain villages here in Switzerland. Black paper, folded over and finely cut with scissors or razor… Laid on a white backing and framed. (Sorry it’s distorted, but click for finer details.)
You’ll find the whole family in it somewhere… From Wife in the kitchen to a CSi to a girl with her hair tied back… A student reading C.S. Lewis (or maybe Leviticus) under a tree to a dad trying to pass a slow moving cow, without much luck.
It was for Wife’s 50th, and it’s beautiful. You’ll have to come see it. Delicate and fine, it springs from the Vine and branches top and center.
