Hanging by the Front Door

A customer sent me a photo of her parents with all their grandchildren and asked me to turn it into a piece of papercut art for her mum to frame. It was a fun photo of the family all huddled up together and an especially lovely memory for her mum. Apparently the photo is several years old but is the last photo of dad with all their grandchildren, so it is a picture that my customer's mum particularly treasures.

I was delighted to create the piece for her.

My customer's nephew in the front was a great place to start. Apparently he still has this awesome afro hairstyle. It certainly makes him stand out! I slowly added each member of the family, finishing with grandma and grandpa at the very back.

The final piece measured 10x8 inches. My customer, who sent it unframed to the US so that mum could choose her own frame, was very pleased with it. "That looks FANTASTIC!" she wrote, then followed up by telling me that her mum was delighted with the piece. "She's hanging it right by the front door where it will be the first thing people see."
