With Valentine's Day around the corner, I thought it would be nice to consider some love letters. Traditionally, the X and the O come to mind, although I don't know the historic significance of these. The example above is one from my own archives which I made last year for my husband, Paul. Then there is this alternative love letter, which is a paper cut artwork if you can believe, by Oakland CA artist, Annie Vought. I originally assumed this was wire, but come to find out it and other amazing works of hers are cut paper. Brings to mind some of the Japanese and Chinese paper artists, but a contemporary take on this technique.
