Some inspirations do end up in the trash

One quiet weekend afternoon while the boy is tucked comfortably in bed for his nap, I took a scissors, some coloured paper and did these scandinavian-styled paper cut-outs.

Took about an hour and a half, threaded a fishing line through it and planned to hang it someplace in the house.

Hung it up, took one look at it, decided it was simply too Hari-Raya-ish for the decor.

Maybe it was the colour…would have done better with greys, blue and olive shades. Or maybe it was too art-deco-liked, I have never been a fan of art-deco styles.

Some projects unfortunately do end up in the trash….an example of how an inspired moment becomes misconstrued and then goes obsolete and unappreciated.

  1. Ooh, my first thought was that these are going to be frames!

    These can double up as frames but need to be cut from a larger format of paper. These are quite small, less than 1/2 of that of a A4 sized paper. These can also be used to line serving trays…for fancy table set up for occasions.
