Paper tole (sometimes called 3D decoupage) is a hand craft technique where printed images are cut in multiple layers and assembled with dimensional adhesive to create a raised relief effect. Betty Tiley worked in Brisbane's Rochedale South, and these two pieces showcase the technique applied to classic Australian wildlife subjects. The kookaburra piece in its blue monochromatic palette is particularly well-executed, with intricate feather detail and layered eucalyptus foliage. Sold as a pair.<br>
