May 10th, 2016: Hand Flowers

When I saw this group called Hand Flowers by Maude White, I thought that's fine work, steady hand stuff.



I figured she used some sort of white ink or paint on clear glass to draw the flower.
Then photograph it with her hand behind, in front of a black background.

Wrong, presumptuous breath, that would be much too easy.
Actually it's archival paper, she cut by hand with a blade.
Blade. Cut. Paper. Mic drop.



Actually these flowers, while fine, look easier than some of the portraits and animals she has in her portfolio.
I didn't see any time numbers, or prices, but they must both be considerable.

Wow, she's wasting her skilz on paper when she could be assembling cell phones on a Chinese iphone line...

Yeah, she could be making prototype chips before the commit to production.
