Eliav Zecharia

I designed and completed this papercut over a year ago but am only now posting it. It was a baby present for Eliav. His Hebrew name is Eliav Zechariah, which is at the top of the papercut. His name in Amharic is Tariku, which is at the bottom of the papercut. The text next to the tree is cut out from the dark blue background, revealing a second, light blue background beneath and is the traditional blessing parents say over their children, aka the priestly blessing.
