PAPER CUTS

I've been experimenting with new media and found that paper cutting is just my thing. I could do it until my fingers drop.
Right now I'm working on some personal pieces and taking commissions at the same time.
Send me a line if you want to do something together: elsieralston@gmail.com

This last one was a commission for a special person. A young girl who just survived a lung transplant and wanted reminder of who helped her hold onto to life:

Life

Se supone que este espacio es un diario, aunque difícilmente escribo 
todo los días, ni todas las semanas (a veces ni todos los meses).  Pero hay momentos que me resultan más significativos que otros; y esta vez me toca registrar uno muy especial: me casé y estoy muy feliz :) 

This is suposed to be a diary, though I hardly write every day, every week (not even every month). But there's moments that feel more significant than others; and this time is my turn to tell about a very special one: I got married and feel very happy  :)
