Caption
This paper cut links with locally known craft skills. The nearby town of Honiton is well known for producing high quality lace. The intricately cut image draws upon these local skills by incorporating the lacework cut into the image to decorate the lower edge. Using tiny scissors, also shown in the web highlights, the ladies eye for detail is impressively shown within the final artwork.
