Paper Ice - Andy Singleton

A year ago at this time, an icy world was on display at the Oriel Mostyn Gallery in Llandudno, Wales.

Artist/illustrator Andy Singleton was commissioned to create a wintery installation to coincide with an opening at the gallery. He hand cut paper patterns and sculpted paper structures to resemble a beautiful ice cavern.

3-D icicles effectively combined with flowing 2-D paper cuts to create a winter wonderland.

I'm thinking my front porch would look pretty cool dressed up in icicles this holiday season. For the record, I much prefer the paper variety to real ones. Brrr... we've had some hanging off our roof in winters past that look just like these. Gorgeous, but I can easily do without them!

    Hmm... I wonder how difficult they'd be to recreate??

  2. Those icicles are so pretty. I prefer these paper ones to the real ones too... maybe if I make a bunch no real icicles will show up!
