Papercut inspiration

Please bear with me for one more screenprinting post! I wanted to share the work of Nikki McClure, who was a major source of inspiration for me to start making papercut stencils for my quilts. Nikki makes her illustrations by papercutting. I stumbled across her book 'collect raindrops' (see below) one day last year, and it is a treasure to me. For some reason I find this book very moving. She captures simple, everday moments in a way that makes you want to stop and treasure all those moments in your own day.

your screenprinting looks fantastic ... and those book illustrations are gorgeous ... you must need a steady hand to cut out all those bits and pieces ...
