Paper Tole exhibition now on at the Library

THE Ayr Library’s final art exhibition of the year puts a whole new slant on paper.


The show features the work of the B.V.B. Paper Tole Girls – three local women who have come together to combine their skills in paper crafting.

Burdekin Library manager John Scott said the artwork created by Beverley Eathorne, Vicki Oar and Beverley Bosel showed how a flat image could be brought to life.

Paper tole, also known as three-dimensional decoupage, is the art of handcrafting three-dimensional pictures from flat prints. Paper tole art is created by skillfully cutting, shaping, and assembling pieces of paper layered onto an image until a three-dimensional version of the image emerges.
