Produktbeschreibung
Christmas is a magical time of love, joy, and giving. The stories and artwork collected in this book are about real and imaginary heroes who inhabit chilly landscapes and bring gifts of cheer and hope during long winter nights. Their generous spirits inspired this book. Let the magic of the season transport you as you learn about some very old generous old souls, whose stories are very old indeed. For more than 40 years, artist and author Martha Link Walsh has been honing her skills in the ancient techniques of cut-paper art. The finished images may look simple, but in reality, every paper-cut piece takes hours of careful planning, a very steady hand, and a very sharp blade. The purity and grace of her images are a perfect complement to the honesty and wisdom of the age-old legends they illustrate.
Autorenporträt
Serendipitously, Martha Link Walsh discovered the art of paper-cutting 50 years ago and has dared to devote her life to the art she loves. Growing up with the freedom to explore the woods and beaches around her home, Martha always felt connected to the wildlife in her surroundings. Martha operates a gallery in her hometown of Branford, Connecticut, and the essence of her art is about story telling. Each of her paper cuts has layers of meaning and symbolism, giving depth to each story. She has expanded her cut-out designs from the commissioned heirloom art cut from one piece of paper to those creations with layers of colored paper as seen in "Shared Spirits: Connecting to Nature's Wisdom". Using various scissors or a scalpel, Martha's hand-cut art has been featured in many print publications and is showcased in her three Christmas-themed books.
