I first saw that art about 6 years ago . I was in awe of the pretty scenes that were out there ! I bought a kit of a beautiful bald eagle to make for my son. I wanted it to be his Christmas present. Well - after about 5 years he finally stopped asking when it was going to be done ...... it got sold at my last rummage sale - UNOPENED. *sigh* That's the story of my life -- but Marie --- those finished projects are works of art !!! Have fun !!!

That's just amazing. My mother does pretty paper cutouts, but nothing like that. Linda

I have a very old piece that my DH was given as a gift in Mexico when he was a presenter at a conference. It has iridescent painting on the birds it depicts. When I took it to be framed they suggested mounting it on burlap. They did it and it looks wonderful and has held up perfectly. It doesn't have any cutouts as your piece has but i think the neutral of the burlap would really show the beautiful detail of the cutwork. Colors behind it would take away I would think. Just a suggestion. I can post a pic of mine if you like. Your artwork that you painted is wonderful !! c
