Virginia Rose Kane: July 2008
http://indepaper.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
New Adventures in Botanical Papercutting. Thursday, July 31, 2008. Tuesday, July 15, 2008. The detail below is of the undulating and spiraled leaves of this tulip that feature map fragments from a very different part of the world as the stamp. Sometimes I will coordinate the maps and stamps to arrive at a unified theme however, in this piece, it was the color and texture of the paper that determined my selection. Saturday, July 12, 2008. This blog will feature new work each week with a little information...

Virginia Rose Kane: Where You Work
http://indepaper.blogspot.com/2009/01/where-you-work.html
New Adventures in Botanical Papercutting. Monday, January 12, 2009. The place I work in fills with light early in the day. Sun streaks across the room and warms the air. Neighbors wander off to where ever it is they go. The building is quiet and still. When in need of a dose of commotion, I walk down the block to bustling Market Street. It's always good to return and step back into the calm. Sit down and work. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 2009 Smithsonian Craft Show. 2008 Smithsonian Craft Show.

Virginia Rose Kane: The Nature of Inspiration
http://indepaper.blogspot.com/2009/01/nature-of-inspiration.html
New Adventures in Botanical Papercutting. Sunday, January 11, 2009. The Nature of Inspiration. The study of natural history reveals one over-arching theme that I find fascinating. Not one creature or element in nature is strictly one thing or another. A tree is not just a tree: a tree is both solid and liquid; hard and soft; rough and smooth. The more you study nature, the more complex it becomes. Every thing is an elaborate combination of opposites. June 23, 2009 at 12:52 AM. Hi, Virginia -Fabulous pic!

Virginia Rose Kane: Spring Is On The Way!
http://indepaper.blogspot.com/2009/01/spring-is-on-way.html
New Adventures in Botanical Papercutting. Wednesday, January 28, 2009. Spring Is On The Way! As I write this post I can hear the sloshing shovels of my neighbors digging themselves out from under two days of snowfall. It's that wet and heavy half-frozen slushy-kind that is better left on the ground lest you find yourself face down in it. I've got 911 on speed dial just in case my neighbor's heart decides for him. On Flickr. In the coming days I'll be uploading several other design collections includi...

New Adventures in Botanical Papercutting. Thursday, July 16, 2009. Hello, it's me! It's been quite some time since I've posted anything! What can I say?

Virginia Rose Kane: Inquiry-based Inspiration
http://indepaper.blogspot.com/2008/10/inquiry-based-inspiration.html
New Adventures in Botanical Papercutting. Tuesday, October 14, 2008. A while back, I got the urge to seek out some resources to help broaden my understanding of plant life and nature. As a former botany student (way back when) I enjoyed learning about plant structure, form, and systematics. My knowledge has waned a bit in the intervening years and, honestly, I wanted to get my hands on a microscope again. They offer a free, hands-on research facility, the Naturalist Center. 2009 Smithsonian Craft Show.

Virginia Rose Kane: Fresh Cut
http://indepaper.blogspot.com/2008/10/fresh-cut.html
New Adventures in Botanical Papercutting. Saturday, October 18, 2008. The weather man says we have some cool days ahead giving me the perfect excuse to quit the driving around and get back to the business of making art. The sun pours through the window in the morning so that's when I do my best coloring. Please stop by my new shop on Etsy if you haven't done so already. There is a little photo album in the column to the right that provides you a direct link to that site. If you enjoy browsing han...Natur...
