Paper cut-outs and a parcel from France

I started the day playing with paper and scissors
cutting out stencils 
to print onto fabric
with young ones in mind

So far a cat ....

and a

of sorts

.

Later on a loud knock at the door and there was Clive (our regular postman who delivers parcels to the door). My box from France has arrived! The joy of it having taken much longer than I expected is in the unpacking and rediscovering the bits and pieces I had forgotten having put in ... a small yellow Matisse cut-outs book among other things. How odd that it should arrive today when I have been making my own.


How lovely to see Matisse in his studio surrounded by all sorts of shapes and colours
