Some of you know that I am crazy obsessed with paper cut art. If you are not sure what that is please click this link to see my favorite paper cut artist, Elsa Mora. I do my own paper cut art as a hobby, and I can't describe how satisfying it is to cut a piece of paper with in exacto knife and be left with a pretty design when I'm done. It's the best kind of meditation.
I'll be doing my first installation of paper cut art in the window of Marion and Rose's Workshop, a boutique in downtown Oakland. The theme is on the annual migration of the monarch butterflies, and we will be giving away free milkweed-- the favorite food of the monarchs-- until it runs out. The installation will be up for about a month, so if you are in or near Oakland, be sure to stop by and see it. And don't miss the reception, from 5-7 on October 3 (First Friday).
