I'm travelling into a new way of working, a new country, a new language, and a new hobby which I'm passionate about. Come with me for some of the journey...

Brand new PaperArtsy stamps and stencils... with something new in the mix!

Hello all!  Yes, it's that time again... I'm delighted to be sharing my newest PaperArtsy designs - three new stamp sets and three stencils.  And there's something new in the mix.

For these new designs we have berries, branches... and bodies! Head over to the PaperArtsy blog to see more (it'll be live at 8pm European on Monday).

I often combine my botanicals with vintage photos or the Tim Holtz Paper Dolls, so I've dug back down into my past for these figures.  I used to doodle in the margins of playscripts when I was working in the theatre, and these curly-headed women always featured.  Come and meet them over on the PaperArtsy blog, and see how they interact with my botanicals. There are stencils and masks to match, which creates so many artistic possibilities!

I'll also be live in the PaperArtsy People FB group on Monday at 8.30pm European time (7.30pm UK, 2.30pm Eastern, 11.30am Pacific). As always, I'll add the direct link to that launch video here once it's ready.

I hope you'll join me either live or on catch-up to hear more about the inspiration behind the new designs and see lots of samples.

Have a great week, all!

I've always been intrigued by cutout silhouettes. They are so intriguing, so poetic - the shadow of a soul. They tell everything about a character and they are open to be filled with one's own imagination.
Ann Demeulemeester (fashion designer)

You cannot do silhouettes in fantasy. Ah, no, you must be faithful. It is, the art, a, what you call, paradox. It is always that you must be simple, and then, if you are simple, you will stimulate the imagination of the observer.
Ugo Mochi (silhouette artist)
