DescriptionPaper Panda, aka Louise Firchau, is a papercutting superstar, with thousands of fans worldwide eager to purchase her distinctive and highly sought after papercut designs. In this gorgeous book, she shows you not only how its done in easy-to-follow steps, but also provides over 20 papercutting templates to try out for yourself. The book begins with a design section in which Paper Panda provides a personal account of what inspires her, how she works, and how Paper Panda came about. This is followed by the techniques section, in which step-by-step demonstrations illustrate various techniques, including infilling. There follows a fascinating insight into how the author creates finished artwork suitable for papercutting, then how to make the template itself, and how to use the finished papercut to make cards, framed pictures, and so on. Author descriptionAfter leaving school, Louise Firchau studied art and design, art history, illustration and typography and enjoyed card making, glass painting and sketching. In 2000 she was inspired to start papercutting, and in 2010 she started her own online company called Paper Panda, making typographical lyrical papercuts from recycled paper. Since then, Paper Panda has grown significantly and now sells papercuts and giftware in a range of distinct styles. Louise has also taught thousands of people to papercut through online groups using a papercutting starter kit, and this is also available from the online shop. In addition to her online shop, Louise has a strong online presence; she is on Twitter and Facebook (now over 261,000 likes and rising!), and has her own (highly entertaining) blog (Mutterings of a papery mind). https://www.facebook.com/PaperPandaPapercuts http://www.paperpanda.bigcartel.com/the-blog |
