Trying something new. 🤓🎨 Ironically, it’s been AGES since I last had a chance to be creative “just for me”. It’s been so long since I picked up a paintbrush that I forgot how difficult it is to paint thin straight lines without a ruler.😅 (the paintbrush said size 4/0, but I smell LIES!) I’m loving the process though... if anyone was to walk into my studio and watch me paint, they’d see my tongue poke out for extra concentration. 😉 Swipe through to see the making of... what do you think: better with or without the black lines? Might turn them into a Paper-Set later... We’ll see... . Have a good one!

The finished paper-cut artwork for my friends @victoriaandre & @mvdlaar1977 ! ✂️ Can you tell I like small details? 😅 The image is based on a photograph of the bride & groom, and as they have a special connection with Lavender plants, I thought I’d make a paper-cutting of them surrounded in a field of full of it! ✂️ Swipe through to see the close ups... .

Cramming in as much detail as possible on this hand cut wedding gift. ✍🏼 The bride and groom have a special connection with Lavender plants, and as their wedding is in sunny south of France, I thought it was fitting to make a paper-cutting of them surrounded in a field of lavender! ✂️ Swipe through to see the making of... The full design is sketched out on the back in reverse (a bit of a bitch for text and graphics) so that once you cut everything out and flip it over, the front is still crisp and clean... in theory.😉 . I will share the finished piece once it’s all ready and framed! 😊 Have a lovely bank holiday weekend!

✂️ Work in Progress paper-cutting of a personal gift this time, for the loveliest couple: bride @victoriaandre & groom @mvdlaar1977 ! It feels like absolute ages since I’ve done a traditional single-layer paper cutting - so this was a lovely gift to make! Swipe to see the back of the paper, where the full design is sketched out. 😉 The beginning phase is always the most exciting, as it’s still very much up in the air with how it’s gonna turn out! 😊 Have a lovely weekend!By Annemarieke . . . . . #papercut #handcut #scalpel #paperartist #weddinggift #brideandgroom #lavenderfields #papercraft #paperillustration #weddingpresent #cutbyhand

YAY! It worked!!!😁🙌🏼 Feeling like the ape from Lion King at the mo, and was about to start bursting into “NAAA SYGONYAA mamabitsibaba” this morning, when I woke up and saw my recycled paper-piece dried successfully into one solid artwork! Swipe through to see closeups of it fresh of the drying towel! ❤️✂️ I’m super glad with how it turned out, and though the colours are a little fainted after the drying process, the gradients & contrasts between the colours are still visible. I’m feeling like a proud momma mixed with an over the moon scientist geeking out over my own little experiment. 😅 Hope you guys like it! . Happy weekend!

TADAA! ✂️🎨🙌🏼 I finished the wet part of my recycled paper piece... now the wait begins. Hopefully it will be fully dried by tomorrow, and fingers crossed it all sticks together as a solid paper “painting”! I expect there will be some desaturation of the colours, as this is what it looks like when it’s soaked with water... so let’s hope those colour gradients are visible once it’s done! 🤞🏼 I’ll post an update tomorrow when it’s fully dried and finished... though I might bring out my hairdryer to speed up the process as I’m too excited! 😉 .

🙌🏼 Raise 🙌🏼 your 🙌🏼 hands 🙌🏼 if 🙌🏼 you 🙌🏼 love 🙌🏼 colour-gradients!!! 🙌🏼 Nearly finished my hand-made recycled paper piece.✂️ I’m even using leftover paper strips for “sketching” now 😅. Almost done! . By Annemarieke Kloosterhof . . .

Slowly but surely getting there! ✂️ Would you be able to tell it was paper if I hadn’t told you? 😉 I’m experimenting with my own little invented technique of making recycled paper artworks. I’m having a whale of a time making super satisfying gradients and blending all the paper colours to the right shades.🎨 It now feels like part mosaic, part finger-painting... and a whole lot of splattery, messy fun! Fingers crossed the gradients and details will work once it’s all dried!🤞🏼 .

Recycled hand-made paper... with a bit of a twist.🤗 I’m experimenting with my own little invented technique of making recycled paper artworks... and lives somewhere in between clay and finger-painting!😅 On the left you see the torn up pieces of recycled paper... and on the right the mushy paper-pulp... with in the middle the early beginnings of a “paper painting”... I’m loving the messy process and the fact that I have no idea what it will look like once it’s dry! Guess we’ll find out soon enough! 🙃 .
