This one-of-a-kind paper cut design was made using an old map of Seattle, Washington, mounted on a wooden display block and sealed with paint brush strokes for texture & protection. It’s a freehand cut out (unlike my solid paper designs - see http://papercuthearts.wordpress.com for more info), & features an interpretation of a heart's anatomy carefully extracted from an original map with an x-acto knife.
{I Heart Seattle} made it to the front page of Etsy in April!
Each heart cut out featured in my shop http://www.papercutworks.etsy.com is very unique - city heart designs specifically are determined by the content of the map I'm working with & can not be recreated.
Wooden blocks make unique sturdy decor pieces - you can display them sitting on a shelf or hanging on the wall. This cradled birch block frame measures 4" by 4" and is 1.5" thick. Paper cut art mounted to the wood is protected by a sealant for durability and gives this piece a painting-like finish as it was applied with brush strokes.
