New work: Striped lacy vase

Another lacy vase. In this piece, I shifted away from having only certain sections of the vase be part of the lacy pattern and instead used lacy cutouts on almost half of the paper. That quickly turned into a lot of little shapes to cut out and a lot of hours spent cutting!

At both the top and bottom edges, the lacy and solid stripes are equal in width. On each half of vase, as you move toward the widest part near the center, one set of stripes stays the same width, and the other expands to fill the extra space. The diagonal line dividing the the two sections is reminiscent of my long history of diagonal shift pieces. Similar to my last lacy vase, this one is painted on the outside, and I’ve photographed it on both a black and a white background so it’s easier to see the different layers.
