chinese and hebrew two

This papercut, for two friends, combines Jewish and Chinese artistic ideas. The two people’s names are cut out in Hebrew letters, while their Chinese birth years are represented by the appropriate animals. I used traditional Chinese papercuts as my inspiration for the animals and leaf styles.
 

chinese and hebrew one

It’s becoming a habit, the habit of guerrilla papercutting (two Rs, two Ls, thanks mom). Planning and making papercuts for people who haven’t asked for them and aren’t expecting them. It is a habit once you’ve done three? Well, I just started my third. For a household that contains both Jewish and Chinese tradition, and two wonderful people.

art calendar

I’ve done a lot of updating to the art store in the last week. There are now a bunch of new products, new product designs, and the whole store has a new design. The homepage especially! The most exciting new product is a 2006 Wall Calendar, which has some artwork for every month. There are also calendar prints (one picture for the whole year) and some new cards and postcards.

Visit the art store!
