When people ask what I do and I say, amongst other things, paper cut outs, I watch them struggle to formulate what that might involve - rows of news paper dollies, ransom notes or collaging of some sort. Then I try to explain and I usually end up referencing to the wonderful Rob Ryan whose work adorns so many things - enamel mugs, cards and book jackets are just the tip of his impressive mountain of credits - and yes I am slightly envious!
I have been interested in cut outs various and assorted for many years, and not just paper, in fact that came rather late in the day.
So I thought that I would put up a couple of my most treasured possessions, ones that make me smile every time I look at them and inspire me.

And here's one of my cut outs, made for a gardener friend
who has a penchant for fishing! |
