This beautifully detailed papercut features an owl set against a 'moon' made of flowers and foliage. Sarah has incorporated two different papercutting techniques in this piece, one where the background is cut away, in the other the foreground shape is cut out.
Sarah's inspiration for the papercut came partly from the welsh legend of 'Blodeuwedd' as retold in Alan Garner's wonderful book 'The Owl Service'. This is one of four similar papercuts, the others feature a hare, fox and badger.
This papercut is available in a limited edition of 10 and combines hand and machine cutting, which allows Sarah to produce work in affordable editions.
The papercut is lightly spray mounted on black mountboard, and is unframed. It will fit a standard 16 inch x 12 inch frame (approximately A3). It will be posted in a cellophane envelope, together with a label for affixing to the back of the frame, with Sarah's signature and the edition number.

Commissioning a piece of work is really exciting – it is a chance to have something made especially for you and an opportunity to really engage in the creative process.
Perhaps you need accessories to go with a particular outfit or a piece of furniture to fit a specific space in your home. We can work with you to design something truly unique. You’ll be able to discuss your ideas, likes and dislikes with the Maker and together create a piece of craft, handmade for you.
This is just a first step, so don't worry, there’ll be plenty of chances to discuss details before finalising a commission.
