Decoupage
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.

Oops…What I meant to say is, it’s indeed beautiful, you done good.
Of course, it’s not a Swiss Army knife…

I can’t imagine spending 50 hours on any kind of art. What a gift. Congrats to wife’s 50th.

Sorry I’ve missed being here a few days. (So CONGRATS on Daughter’s graduation. The dress really threw me off for a moment!) Very glad to hear that with $10k you are in better shape cardiologically (apparently that’s not a word but it should be). As for the decoupage … over here that always meant gluing some pictures to a board and then dousing it with polyurethane. I think what you have is much more of art than what we have!!
