Meeting Nikki McClure

I have been admiring the work of paper-cut artist Nikki McClure for a while. I bought two of her prints at Giant Robot and blogged about her here. So it was my good fortune to meet her in person, when she gave a talk about her new children's book "Mama, is it summer yet?"
(Thank you, Sarah, for alerting me to the event!)

I loved hearing how she does her paper cuts and seeing her tools, including an ultra-special Japanese sticky cutting mat. Meeting her in person was a delight, because she is such a kind and positive person!
