Jonathan draws a design by hand and scans it to create a digital template. He then prints out the template, places it over a sheet of jet black paper, and painstakingly cuts the design by hand with a scalpel.
The elegant arrangements of twigs, leaves, plants, and flowers are perfect as is, but the open central space in each design allows Mr Yen to customize it with a hand cut silhouette or date. A favorite photograph or other small art work might be framed in the opening instead.
Mr Yen's packaging is lovely...
and he even launched his new blog and Autumn/Winter Look Book in a special way!
As in the overwhelming majority of my feature posts, I simply admire Mr Yen's talent and enjoy bringing it to your attention. Sponsored posts are always clearly labeled.
