Q1. Heavenly were a 1990s indie pop band, originally formed, in Oxford, in 1989 and comprised Amelia Fletcher (vocals/guitar), Mathew Fletcher (drums; Amelia's brother), Peter Momtchiloff (guitar) and Robert Pursey (bass). Heavenly is no more, but Amy and Rob continue to make music under the name of Tender Trap.
Q2. Over the last 5 years Amelia and Rob have become good friends.
I have not done paper cut art for some time now, but I can tell you, it is a lot easier cutting paper than it is carving wood! The process is quite involved ie the cutting side of it, but the results can be very rewarding. Here are a few pictures, showing the process. Why not try it yourself; you don’t need to be able draw that well, but you do need to be able to handle a very sharp scalpel!

| THIS OLD NEWSPAPER CLIPPING WAS THE CATALYST |
 |
| I THEN IMPORTED THE IMAGE INTO PHOTOSHOP AND USED THE RUBBER STAMP FILTER. (YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A POINT WHERE THERE IS ENOUGH DETAIL TO STILL RECOGNISE THE FACES BUT, AT THE SAME TIME, NOT MAKING IT TOO DIFFICULT TO CUT THE PIECE OUT). |
 |
| ONCE YOU HAVE THE PAPER CUT FINISHED. YOU CAN EXPERIMENT WITH LIGHT AND SHADOWS AND PHOTOGRAPH THE RESULTS. |
 |
| THEN ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS TO CHOOSE YOUR BACKGROUNDS. BE AS CREATIVE AS YOU WANT. BUT BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR PAPER CUT, AS IT CAN BE FRAGILE! |
