NAUTILUS SHELL UNDER-THE-SEA HANDMADE BOOK – I created all of these collage pieces 5 years ago while recuperating from a serious car accident. Several versions of this book were created from all the pieces I made. The back of the book shows the rubber stamp I used for the background with a watercolor wash & the back cover of the book is watercolor with salt. Cutting paper into little pieces has always been soothing to me!

Matisse may have found cutting paper soothing, too.

Oh such a lovely comment. I have long admired Matisse’s paper cut art & the fact that he did it when he was overcome by illness, too. Thanks much for taking the time to write this!
