Dear friend,
Today I just wanted to give you a little advance about something exciting that I have been putting together. And that is a new store dedicated to my original papercuts only. They will be an alternative to my gallery work, which is a bit pricier.
Title: The Departure (about a girl that is becoming a woman)
The pieces on the new store will be framed and ready to hang and the prices will go from $99 (plus shipping & handling) to aproximately $400. My larger and more intricate papercuts are currently being sold at Couturier Gallery here in Los Angeles, CA. for prices that go from $600 to $2500.
Title: The Hand (about a woman that has decided to take her destiny in her own hands)
I think that the store will be ready to go live on September 14, 2009. I will keep you updated on this. The 2 pieces on this post will be part of the first update. I am absolutely in love with them! The vintage inspired frames measure 7.3/4" in height by 5.3/4" in width. The price for each one of these pieces is $250. But I already have 6 different ones for $99 each, featuring Pinocchio, Little Red Riding Hood, Peter Pan, Three Little Pigs, Alice in Wonderland and Petter Rabbit.
If you're thinking about something unexpected, a special present for someone in your life, something that could be treasured for generations, then I invite you to visit my new store in September. You will find a little piece of my heart in every single papercut :)
Happy Monday!
Elsita :)
