Ladies First

Exceptional Women !

We need at least one International Women's Day to celebrate all these wonderful women who have courageously built our present little by little. They have offered us, unconditionally and over time, our freedom today .

Of course, there is still a way to go for the balance to be effective and lasting; but without each of them, without the often hard-won millimeters, without their courage, their conviction, their faith, we would still only be at the beginning of this path.

       

In my own way, simply, I pay them a sincere and profound tribute : I like to associate my cardboard and paper creations with women who left their mark on me, who marked their time, who did not lack courage, audacity, humanity, initiative....

What is the link between these women and my creations ?

My travels, my walks, my visits to exhibitions, museums, my meetings, the films I see, the books I read.... are all inspirations for my new creations . The colors I choose depend on my mood, the weather, the season...   

...And very naturally, during this time of creation, of conception , a woman intervenes, settles in nicely, gently joins in with the project to finally give it a name. And just as naturally, as if it were obvious, the story of my creation and the story of this woman merge, combine to become one.....one.

This is how many of my creations bear the name of well-known or lesser-known, but always great, women: Just a little nod to these Great Ladies...

Tutorials for talented women !

I do not sell my cardboard and paper creations. On the other hand, I allow all talented women, who like me, love creation, paper, beautiful things, to create them, with their color, their style. I therefore provide downloadable tutorials , which can be printed on a simple printer. These technical sheets are very detailed, full of detailed explanations, photos of the different stages of manufacturing, precise plans.....

And above all, these tutorials take full advantage of my long experience as a framing and cardboard teacher : I can guess where there might be a problem, where I should insist....

These tutorials allow you to reveal YOUR talent and put it in the spotlight.
