About Original Works of Cut Paper Art
When making a dimensional paper illustration, I carefully cut each shape and layer the paper by hand (my personal favorite part). Then, it's "just" a matter of gluing it all together. Once layered and glued, each piece actually is about 2 inches deep, requiring a custom shadowbox frame.
Original illustrations arrive professionally framed, featuring museum glass that is not only entirely clear but anti-glare and UV-protected to boot. The shadowbox frame is made on Martha's Vineyard from cherry by professional woodworker David Wiley.
Also to note: for all of my original illustrations, they are professionally packed, shipped, and insured to provide extra security (and peace of mind) in the shipping process.
