Cardboard art from a galaxy far, far away and some places closer to home

I started working with cardboard in 2014 when one of my kids wanted to be a train for Halloween. I quickly came to realize the versatility of cardboard as an art medium, and since I had an abundance of it from a recent move, decided to try making gifts for my family and friends.

3. Floating: this design maintains the natural curve, but allows you see the raw edge of the piece.

Which framing do you prefer?

Finished the base painting on my next piece. Not super happy with the green through the middle, so need to find a way to lighten it up.
