Old maps, an Anthropologie catalogue, and colored pencil mounted on colored paper. All pieces cut with (naturally) my xacto knife. Framed and under textured glass.

Henry V
"Thou hast me, if thou hast me, at the worst; and thou shalt wear me, if thou wear me, better and better." (Henry V's proposal to Katherine of Aragon, and forgive me, I don't remember when it happens).
This was an experimental papercut, and a large one at that; I'm pleased with how it turned out, and, personally, think it would be a lovely wedding gift.
400-series Strathmore paper (18”x24”), xacto knife.
Juggling
It's true, I took Juggling 101 as a physical education credit when I was in college. I did not actually manage to learn how to juggle, which was unfortunate, but Tony was kind enough to let me pass, once I made a poster in lieu of completing the performance part of the final.
Primacolor pencils and ink on illustration board. Typography done by hand.
