STORIES IN PAPER ON INSTAGRAM

A new collection of small papercut insects are on their way to be framed today 🦋
I’m starting a new sea creature papercut tonight. I got overexcited while I was sketching and now have about 20 ideas...it’s difficult to choose! What would you like to see?
Here’s a little snippet of one of the projects I’ve been working on recently. I’m really looking forward to sharing it all later in the year. Drawn on the i-Pad using Procreate...those little feathers took quite some time!

CADDISFLY | Trichoptera There are nearly 200 species of Caddisfly or ‘sedge flies’ within the UK, and they are found in wetlands and freshwater environments such as ponds and rivers. They are aquatic as larvae, and are well known for creating shelters or cases by secreting silk and surrounding themselves with fragments of leaves, stones and sand. Riverflies such as caddisflies are the foundation of freshwater ecosystems, playing a vital role in the food chain of the aquatic environment, being a source of food for fish and birds. The adults resemble small brown moths, although they tuck their wings in when stationary. They are known as the ‘canary of the rivers’ as their population is quickly impacted by water pollution and changes in water quality.

I’m excited I can now share this lovely commission I made recently - a present for someone who works in a botanical gardens. If you’d like to commision an original papercut please get in touch! I have created papercuts to fit all sorts of budgets and I have arranged for work to be shipped to people across the country :)
I’ve been working a lot on essential-yet-boring things recently like building a new website and writing lots of applications for funding. I am so ready to get to my desk and make something new...but when uploading pictures to my portfolio I found this guy and he made me smile 😊
