Story House

eatbigfish asked me to create a Story House for them to present to a client. The concept behind it is that each story has different needs with specific occasions/audiences, which the Story House helps to illustrate. For example...the garage - stories of discovery or invention: things we take out to help us make our future.

What A Wonderful World

My Grandparents gave me numerous scalpels and a beautiful wooden box to house all of my arty bits and bobs in for my Birthday so to say thank you I have made them an A3 paper cut out. I still need to add a few details to the flowers and then frame and mount it...

De Waag

In January I was lucky enough to work in De Waag, a lovely building in the heart of Amsterdam. Although it looks like something from Disney it has a rather diverse past, some of which is quite dark; a weigh house, a fencing hall, a furniture workshop, an oil lamp workshop, a fire station, hold city archives, carry out punishments (there was a guillotine located outside), a museum, an anatomical theatre etc. I created a drawing with fine liners which I then finished off with some watercolours...I haven't used anything other than a scalpel for quite some time.

CD Cases

Stuart Gough and I created these Paper Cut CD cases for his sister as a gift for Christmas. Stuart created the templates for the cases and three of the designs, I created the one above (I was meant to do two but came down with a serious case of the sniffles!). From the top right (the red case) they were for The Lumineers, Django Django, First Aid Kit and finally Alt J. I think they make a great personalised present!

Crown Christmas Card

 I was asked to create the Crown Christmas card again this year which was a great compliment! I decided to make the actual paper shape in to a snow globe this time which is new for me as I've only created items to international paper sizes before (except the birds). The design intern, Indra, photographed the piece, added some aspects of snow and put a wooden background in to it which really brings out the shape and of the cut out. These were printed and sent out to clients and suppliers.

Office Decorations

These decorations are incredibly simple and easy to make. I was making the office look a little more festive and decided to use the bits and bobs that we had going spare. You can use any colours you like and edit the text to your own preference so you can completely customise it. Just cut two strips of paper, both the same width but make one about 3 cm shorter than the other, cut your text out making sure you leave the bottom of the letters attached to the paper, bend the letters up and staple/glue the paper together to create a circle. Simple!
